The only consideration is they are actually based in Montreal for the most part so a potential orphan operation and likely requiring a positioning sector (They do this already for Pfreighers at the moment) - Some of the 333 fleet are currently configured for freight on passenger duties.
Rouge wide body fleet is effectively dead, though they do have the 2 A319-112 frames used across the Atlantic on estate - All the 767s are parked and the three with mainland are or have been through Tel Aviv for full freight conversion.
Rouge brand is not likely to return across the Atlantic anytime soon.
It also remains something of anomaly why the French provincial services continue to work whilst the UK operations (other than the black hole ) have declined so far as to not support even a three weekly service level.
Given it’s French speaking heritage, I guess it’s no surprise that secondary French cities are linked with YUL etc.
