If I was in charge I would add a new double track across the country, alongside existing rail, with VIA owning it.

If I was in charge I would add a new double track across the country, alongside existing rail, with VIA owning it. With crossovers, not high-speed separated track. Then trains could dramatically increase speed and reliability for only mumble-mumble billions of dollars.
And I would add sleeper cars to the Quebec City-Windsor corridor trains, so people could book an “office” to work in, or they could book a made-up sleeper room to nap in. No meals included, just more private seating.
Also every train would be longer, with more of the affordable tickets available, to build ridership.

I would also not serve the meal at 14h15, on a train than runs from 13h30-19:00. And not the meal that I reserved, weirdly. VIA1 has changed a lot.
