It's not a job I'd care to do, that being said AC is not a company I'd care to work for either. The company culture there seems.............well, peculiar would be my description.
There are some GA's with a sense of humo(u)r. Maybe the Embraer 463 is an inside joke. Around my job we have a term TTFO, we write it in the notes of our CRM all the time. It means TOLD TO F*** OFF, maybe the Embraer 463 is another version of TTFO. As an aside one time some halfwit wrote TTFO down on an email, because they cut-and-pasted it. The lady called in and asked what it was, the quick thinking CSM said it means "Told To Fix Online".

Indeed. The one thing most under their control is the issue they just can't quite seem to fix.

That being said, I can confirm they sometime find their way in the East as I have flown on them at least twice in 2017 between YYZ (or was it YUL?) and YQB.

Small bin Q400 frequently fly out of YXU. I bought a slighly smaller sized spinner which if inserted just right and smashed in the perfect spot springs the door bin just enough to be successfully inserted. Almost never breaks the door hinge!

To be clear, there are 5 fins that used to be operated by Sky that are now with Jazz.
But is the problem only with those ones? I thought I read on here some while back that it was all the frames that were picked up from US carriers.
That's the 5 that were with Sky plus another 5 that went straight from Republic to Jazz.

I was tempted to post the other day when we pulled up to the gate at YVR next to a LH 747.
(I know, impossible. There are no 747s at YVR etc.)
