AC probably will respond once they have enough slack in the widebody fleet to start some routes out west.

If they go as far as DPS, then they probably also looked at CJU and OKA. But yeah FUK and PUS are the next logical destination in Japan/Korea after all the ones listed on the map.
Maybe if CTS goes well and they got many bookings from the Japanese side, they could try more destinations with XLR? The only one I can think of is SDJ, all other airports in the area are too small.
And since AC wants to fly everywhere French from YUL, wonder if they looked at YUL-YVR-PPT. TN couldn't make it work for SEA, but maybe YVR will work with the help from YUL? But then PPT is just out of range for XLR, so they'll have to use at least a 788 for this.
And then since BKK is doing very well, maybe AC will want to try HKT too.
Then there are CAN and secondary Chinese cities, each one of them are larger than everything listed above. But since pandemic AC can barely make PEK work, and HKG seems be doing very badly right now, I doubt we'll see any Chinese expansion from the AC side for a while...
==============================
FJ added 3rd weekly YVR-NAN from end of summer to beginning of peak season in December.
So now the route will essentially be operated 3x weekly year-round except mid-April to mid-June.
