The Liberal government has confirmed it flew into Canadian airspace from Alaska before crossing back into the Western U.S.
“The Pentagon and the White House have been a lot more open in discussing what happened,” Conservative defence critic James Bezan said. “As a country that had its airspace violated by the Communist Party of China, we deserve answers.”
“In addition to this, light must be shed on this event and the government must offer answers to the population as to the impact of this spy balloon.”Article content Norad commander U.S. Gen. Glen VanHerck told reporters that such balloons evaded detection by North America’s aging early warning system in the past because of a “domain awareness gap” that has since been closed.
Anand’s office has not responded to repeated questions about when the balloon entered Canadian airspace from Alaska, or how long it remained in Canada before re-entering the U.S. over Idaho. It also hasn’t said whether there were other balloons.Article content “It did seem that it was positioning itself over various military installations within the United States,” he added, noting that Alberta is home to major Canadian military bases at Cold Lake, Edmonton, Wainwright.
