I really do hope BHX is in with a shout with WestJet to YYZ and that BHX eyes are back on the trans-Atlantic ball. Sadly however I would not be surprised if EDI and MAN gain any proposed new YYZ services instead
Westjet say they have identified up to 5 airports that they want to serve and are within the B737 range. Sadly, EDI, MAN and 'a London airport' (likely LGW) have already been singled out:

The company said it had considered four or five other European cities as
potential destinations that would be within the range of its fleet of Boeing
737s
But if WestJet's transatlantic service proves a success, it may consider
adding places like Edinburgh, Manchester, and/or London
WestJet poses challenge to Rouge

Lets hope BHX is in with a chance. A B737 with connections to other points in Canada should be the very least BHX should aim for.
