If I were a betting man, I would suggest that AC has plans to make YYZ/YUL <-> YVR/SFO/LAX all Signature Service by using a combo of XLR and widebodies, so if correct the point becomes moot.
In terms of why bother it is to get lower cost and better passenger experience on other busy routes like YUL/YYZ/YOW <-> YWG/YEG/YYC/ORD/DEN...
