There is no mention of whether you still get double airmiles for booking Westjet flights using the Gold MC, or the free companion ticket for spending $3,000 in a calendar year on Westjet.
The loss of the 1600 AM with Westjet seems to be a significant loss, although I've heard availability was severely restricted anyway. Neither the Airmiles or BMO websites make any mention of Westjet doublemiles or companion ticket but the Westjet site does (double miles is on Silver as well).
