I suspect someone threw those times out there as plausible times assuming commuters were heading into Toronto. If you time it instead for Kitchener, it's far more reasonable and also plausible under the existing timetable.

Via 17:40 19:18 19:55 20:23 21:09
Basing the schedule off of Via's existing schedule, this is a very reasonable looking schedule geared toward commuters into Kitchener, but also workable for people going into Toronto for meetings or appointments.
I mean, while it's not impossible, the problem remains that for almost every purpose except a job where I am literally ON THE CLOCK for a 9 - 5 day, I'd rather take the Via train.
I dunno. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I find it very frustrating, I can see far better options that were not taken.
