I am Groot Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 So okay, the media made a big fuss about the first balloon and the US administration was criticized for being so lackadaisical. So I get they shot down a second smaller one right away, except its strange no one is calling it a balloon. So if it's not then what was it? Now Trudeau of all people gives the okay to shoot down a third one over the Yukon. And again we don't have any description of what it was. I mean, a balloon is pretty unmistakable, isn't it? So why not just call it a balloon? And if it's not then wth was it? I don't believe they don't know what it is. Politicians don't okay shooting missiles at thing when you don't know what they are, particularly Trudeau, who's very much the peacenik type. I assume the Americans prodded him to do it, but we don't seem to have any information about why. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-norad-high-altitude-object-canada/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCanMan Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Now China can flood the zone with $2,000 balloons and we're gonna shoot them down with $100K missiles... Eventually we have to fire a shot across China's bow, even if it's just economic sanctions. 1 Quote If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

I am Groot Posted February 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 While Trudeau described the object as "unidentified," Maj. Olivier Gallant, a NORAD spokesperson, told The Associated Press that the military had determined what it was but would not reveal details. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/norad-monitoring-airborne-object-north-1.6745575 Wtf? Why hide this? Whoever sent it knows what it was. Was it a friggin balloon or something else? What happened to open, transparent government anyway?

If it is a threat, why does the Canforces need to run around looking for Trudeau to ask him if it is ok to shoot it down? Shouldn't the officers in the Canforces have the authority to make a decision like that? It is a relatively trivial thing anyway. Or have we become a one-man government and defence force?

sharkman Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Interesting. 3 in a week, a very eventful week. It’s like, hey everybody, look over there! It’s a balloon to capture data and your attention. Oh look, there’s another in Alaska! And another one! Trudeau gets to shoot it down. And we’re calling this one a UFO!!

Moonlight Graham Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 US F-22's shot down the balloon that was traveling over the Yukon (Canadian airspace). This is so embarrassing. We can't even defend our own airspace against a balloon without America's help. IT'S A BALLOON! "I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. [NORAD] shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object," Trudeau said in a statement on Twitter. 1 Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.

myata Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Foreign missiles that allegedly entered NATO airspace also haven't been identified but already known "to pose no threat" (someone must have that higher knowledge). Must be only a happy coincidence. Always try to appease a bloody dictator and watch what they'll be up to next. Works like a charm (the strategy).

We also don't need our own country, the British will make our laws for us. Why bother moving out of the house either? Mom will cook me dinner and do my laundry until i'm retired. Why do I even bother wiping my own bum? If we're attacked by a much more powerful country, sure our NATO allies can help, that's what the alliance is there for. But its a balloon. We allowed another country's military aircraft into our sovereign borders to destroy a balloon for us, and in front of our biggest rival. This government is utterly incapable of defending Canada, proven over and over. Maybe, for once in our history, Canada can stand on its own two feet. We are conditioned by hundreds of years of history not to be. 2 2 Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.

betsy Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Maybe, more ufos will come. I'm wondering if one of these ufo they shoot down would be carrying something like pathogens or deadly chemicals that will be released when shot down?

betsy Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Biden and Trudeau are both using this for political points. Perhaps hoping to distract from our broken healthcare, and setting up for a looming election. For all we know - we're getting played!
