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.

At the end of the day airlines are a private business and are not going to do routes that are not profitable. It's all very simple - if there was more demand for Saint John flights there would be more flights. Unfortunately that is not the case.
Why would Air Canada not throw Saint John in as a stop on a Toronto - Halifax flight? Also simple. If I'm flying from Toronto to Halifax and I have 7 options and one of these happen to add one hour plus there is no way I'm taking it. In fact, I would pay a lot more to not have to take it.
