Saint John to Halifax is unfortunate in being a bit of an awkward driving distance and maybe just slightly too small a market. Sydney-Halifax is similar. If you added 100k people to either city or moved them 2 hours farther away there probably would be regular flights.
Eventually, Moncton-Halifax should have more regular train service with a stop at YHZ.

How much time do you think it would add? From what I understand, there are 7 daily Air Canada flights between Halifax and Toronto.
So this three city route via Saint John would be just one option among many to get between Toronto and Halifax. Plus, there's gotta be
some people who only need to get between Halifax and Saint John, or Toronto and Saint John, right?
If it was the cheapest option, I'm sure many people in Halifax, Toronto, and Montreal would book the route through Saint John to save money.
I'd imagine people in St. John's would welcome this route too, as I guess they only have one daily Air Canada flight to Toronto at the moment, which seems absurd.
As for the train service, it would be nice, but I think a more regular bus service is a far more realistic, reliable, and attainable goal.
