AC's new Q400's (Pic)

[C-FABH]

Air Canada has not operated from the Island airport since
2006, when it was evicted by the TPA. Porter Airlines commenced
service from the airport shortly thereafter.

Not really. Porter bought the only terminal and evicted them.

Someone is gonna be out a lot of money having those Q400's sitting idle on the ramp. Ive been hearing for quite a while that they weren't going to have their OC ready for Feb.

Since then, Air Canada has negotiated a deal with Sky
Regional Airlines Inc. to operate 15 daily flights between
Billy Bishop and Montreal using eight leased Q400s turboprops.

Bad reporting or wool pulled over ACPA's eyes? I thought it was 5 Q400s

Not really. Porter bought the only terminal and evicted them.

Air Canada initially refused to sign a long term agreement with CYTZ to operate there which sealed their fate and subsequently gave Porter the power to evict big red due to lack of commitment.

Saw this pic floating around Airliners.net, not sure of any details but looked interesting.
Kinda like this look a bit better to be honest. Any of you seen these birds in person?

Can anyone get a closer side or profile picture? Especially the tail logo and the 'express' logo. I would like to recreate the art work on Illustrator and make my own decals for a Q400 I'm scratchbuilding. I know this is an unusual request, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm an avid modeller in my spare time.

Thanks
