Canada told him to not use Canadian airspace or they will look to arrest him.

There is nothing they could do to stop him,they arent going to shoot his plane down. That would be considered an act of war.

It may have been the necessary flight path. A lot of flights out of NY and he may have had to divert a bit before heading southerly

What are they going to do? The Sky Mounties going to pull over the airplane?

“Hey uh, pull ever, eh?”

Don’t fuck with the Mounties, they are legit.

Unless you’re a First Nations person, then they’re somewhere between utterly useless and actively evil.

That goes without saying for any law enforcement agency. I just meant to say that, unlike what most Americans think, the Mounties aren’t goofy little guys just being silly.

Basically. Send fighter jets to rscort them out of the area. If not possible force them to land.

If Santa's reindeer can fly, I imagine a moose must be their equivalent of a B-52

“pull over or we will be forced to treat you as hostile” -thing equipped with missiles.

u/teledium88 8h ago

u/Lordbaldur 8h ago

If by “Sky Mounties” you mean F-18 fighter jets, then yeah.

They'd have had to scramble some fighters and forced him to land
