Well, either we're being invaded by extraterrestrials or there's another Chinese (or maybe Russian) spy thingy floating in the skies, because NORAD just shot down a cylindrical UFO over the Yukon Territory in Canada. (Don't worry, team, Gurdeep Pandher of the Yukon has reported that he's just fine.)
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced tonight that the object, whatever it was, was taken down by an American F-22 because, at 40,000 feet, it was dangerous to commercial aircraft. Okay, fine. We're standing by to hear more whenever our respective governments decide to brief us.
Meanwhile, it's probably par for the course that Conservative politicians in Canada are feigning ignorance of NORAD and criticizing Trudeau for the fact that it was a US plane that shot the thing down. Here are the facts: The defense of Canadian airspace is actually a joint command responsibility between us and the True North, and whichever plane is closest to the target gets to destroy it — on the order of the Canadian Prime Minister, i.e., Justin Trudeau.
Seems pretty simple to us, but we're shocked to see some Canadian journalists jumping on the why-not-Canada bandwagon. We may have to rethink our follows. In the meantime, we cats HISS.
