A Russian-registered cargo aircraft that has been grounded at Toronto Pearson Airport has been seized by the Canadian government, Global Affairs Canada announced on Saturday afternoon.
What’s in it? Random people’s suitcases from a year ago? 🤔
It’s a cargo plane, so no it didn’t have random people’s suitcases! Apparently, the plane arrived in Canada to deliver a shipment of COVID-19 rapid tests and hours after its arrival, Transport Minister announced Canada was closing its airspace to all Russian aircraft in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
I like that they waited juuuuust long enough to get those test strips.
