Convince our MP to fight for it politically?

...my responses may highlight my opinion that the problem is more political than technical, but there's no doubt something actually missing on that front, too.

It's not really a political problem: politicians can't dictate airlines' routes or schedules.  This is fundamentally a business problem, how can YKF routes work from a business perspective, which in depends on creating a demand in order to fill planes.  The costs of flying from YKF will already be far lower than YYZ, so it's really a revenue problem: flying empty planes is not a good business.
