My guess is US air bases in Washington were closer to Vancouver so Norad activated their combat aircraft. I think this shows how tightly integrated US and Canadian air defenses are. I think we better draw up some plans in case US becomes the enemy.

It's definitely a case of NORAD working as designed. Which is good!

The fact that we're borderline amazed that it's working as designed is much less good.

And worried about the fact that NORAD won’t protect us from NORAD members.
