Yep,
There was a forum member on this flight.
Sure he will post what happened in due course:)

That'd be me. To say the least, we were never told- but my sources were kind enough to inform me. C-FNND took off from CYYZ and encountered some sort of engine problem, rather than turn back, they decided to soldier on to CYVR for reasons I cannot fathom. When I deplaned in CYVR from CYEG we were already well aware of the two hour delay. I think, what happened was AC thought that since C-FNNH was in CYVR at the time they could pull of a swap with no issue. Unfortunately for them, C-FNNH's HF radio equipment was broken. Because both planes were no out of comission, rather than informing us that we had to wait for C-FIUJ to come back from YSSY in a timely manner, they made us wait patiently in a terminal with no food until 2:00am. Then informing us we had to be back at 7:00 to check in. Amazingly, C-FNNH's HF systems borked again this morning and it made for a lovely beach departure. When I finish my A.net trip report all shall see the glory of AC- that is for sure.
