CRTC approves CBC's frequency change in Belleville, Ontario
The CRTC approved the CBC's application to change CBO-FM-1's frequency in Belleville from 104.7 MHz to 90.3 MHz. This will definitely resolve the ongoing interference issues with WBBS 104.7 near Syracuse, New York.
CRTC Decision May 18, 2021:

I've always wonder if 800 CJBQ has any future plans of adding a nested FM transmitter or move to FM altogether? Belleville is one of the last cities between Ottawa and Toronto to have an AM radio station.

I'd assume that the CRTC would consider CJTN 107.1 to effectively be a Belleville station (licensed to Trenton) which along with 97.1 would put them over the limit for FMs, so a full move would be off.
As for a translator, they don't have the usual arguments that work in bigger markets about density and electrical interference to justify it. Never say never though.

Here, in the south west we get CKLW on 800 HHZ. I couple of years ago they had to shut it down for a few hours overnight to do maintenance. The Bellville station was pounding in here like a local.
After all is said and done, more is usually said than done.
