Air Canada ..mmmmmmmmm. first time I have seen them mentioned on this board as being used for Cruise Air. Welcome to "Our" airline. They are in bankrupt protection and for good reason. You may have experienced some of them. I have yet to experience any of your YVR airport problems when leaving or returning to the International side of the airport. But on a crowded day I guess anythings possible. Purhaps you were just feeling the "Joys" of being on foreign soil. Sounds a lot like what I have found when travelling outside my country.
