Canada Grounds Charter Plane Because 2 Russians Were on It

So these are just random Russian nationals, apparently?

It’s so illegal to be Russian in democracy-heavy Canada that they will ground a plane to get you?

Breitbart:

Canada’s Transportation Minister, Omar Alghabra, confirmed reports that a charter plane in the city of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories has been grounded after carrying two Russian nationals.

Minister Alghabra wrote about the matter on Twitter on Thursday, saying: “A charter aircraft that carried Russian foreign nationals has been held at the Yellowknife airport. We will continue to hold Russia accountable for its invasion of Ukraine.”

He wasn’t even born in Canada

The plane landed in Yellowknife earlier this week on Tuesday after arriving from Geneva and was said to be on its way to the far-north small hamlet of Resolute, in the Canadian territory of Nunavut.

The government of the Northwest Territories, meanwhile, claimed they had no idea who had been on the aircraft until after it landed in Yellowknife.

Transport Canada has stated it will be reviewing whether the aircraft violated an ongoing Canadian ban on Russian aircraft using Canadian airspace, the Toronto Sun reports.

So far, the Canadian government has kept relatively quiet on the details of the two Russian nationals, their identities, and why they were travelling.

Yeah.

On Friday, Minister Alghabra confirmed that the aircraft had violated the ban on the use of Canadian airspace by Russian aircraft, stating: “After a thorough investigation by Transport Canada, the Russian controlled aircraft in Yellowknife violated the prohibition of Russian-owned, operated, or controlled aircraft in Canadian airspace. Penalties have been levied against the owner, primary client, and pilots onboard.”

Canada has pushed for sanctions against Russia since the country invaded Ukraine last week and has enacted various sanctions, including stripping both Russia and its ally Belarus of their official statuses as preferential trading partners.

Interim Conservative Party leader Candice Bergen, the official opposition to Prime Minister Trudeau’s Liberal government, went even further, calling for the government to expel the Russian ambassador and recall Canada’s ambassador to Russia.

That dynamic is global across all democracies.

The fake right is saying that the left governments aren’t hardcore enough.

I’ve been watching both CNN and Fox News, and though CNN is totally off the goop in its calls for war with Russia, Fox News is like a parody.

This is at the top of the (NewsCorp owned) New York Post:

Other than Zelensky begging and there being a siege, I don’t believe any of those things happened.

There is a frantic mania.
