The Port Authority has told Air Canada that they can start flights, but they would need to sign an agreement with the TPA. This is necessary because there are limited flight slots available.
Air Canada has never really demonstrated any desire to office useful service from the Island. Air Ontario used to have good service in the 90s, but the last few years before Porter arrived AC Jazz had reduced service to one plane (the first flight out of Toronto to YOW was 8:30am and the last flight back was 4:30pm -- which is not very useful for people trying to go to business meetings).
US Air also applied to start service and the TPA agreed. However, US Air never followed up on it.
