I’m good with “never say never” … but the OP’s question was “in the near future”.

I’m frankly concerned that the Delta JV won’t even happen now. They’ve gone silent on it … after the first attempt was turned down, and both companies said they’d try again.

That was a holdover from the previous CEO - and the new guy seems to be reversing course on everything the previous CEO did and said. (And a Delta JV doesn’t really fit with a primarily-Western-Canadian-regional-holiday airline anyway.)
