Seems more like a parking route than anything (likely cheaper to park the D8 in YYJ than YVR. Im suprised they wouldnt have made that a YLW route instead. Also surprised that bird gets to bed bed early in the day - 1955. I wonder if WJ would turn YYJ into a mtce base for the D8.

Also strange they wouldnt try to decreased the turn time on the D8 to less than 45 minutes. 1/2 the size of a 737 I expected them to be able to turn them quicker to increase their utilization. Maybe they will once their flight planners get used to their operational stability etc.
