Westjet has a very different fleet strategy than AC.
While Westjet didn't go running to BBD with their cheque book open (other than for Q400's), Delta did - and they are not exactly fools. I very much suspect that AC bought the C-Series for exactly the same reason as Delta - they wanted an aircraft in that size range to fill a gap between the 737 and Regional Jets and Bombardier offered the most compelling overall value.
