And ditto for Dorval? All three are primarily there serve the suburbs to save people from having to go downtown only to catch a train back the way they came from. Admittedly Dorval does also serve the airport, but I expect a small percentage of people using the station are connecting to the airport.
In the case of Fallowfield it would have been better named Barrhaven (the name of the community it is attached to, rather than naming it after the road it is on).

Convenience and Speed have to be the foundation for any VIA HFR/HSR strategy.

Agreed, and there is a balance between the two. Adding a suburban station increases convenience, but decreases speed slightly. The question becomes, how many passengers do you gain by adding the station vs how many passengers you loose by slowing the train down by adding the station.
