Wow, can it be any more archaic? NORADs is way better
I don’t understand this push to militarize it; NORAD tracking, fighter jets “escorting” it in Canadian air space. Season of peace indeed. What a perversion.
We use norads Santa tracker every year. Never once have we felt it even remotely militarized and never once have we seen fighter jets involved.
Who are we? Are you speaking for all Canadians? I know people who are born and raised here and feel uneasy at the sight of the military in the streets, which is BTW very strange to me; why would one feel any discomfort at the sight of your own military going peacefully about their business? But whatever reason they might have, it’s their right in a free country even though the military has a place and value in the society. It’s just that Santa and Christmas need not be associated with NORAD and fighter jets.
Fighter jets are involved every year, not physically of course but as a part of the narrative. You can see it on TV, in the news and online. You have videos on You Tube by Canadian Armed Forces about it. Just search: CAF Story | Keeping Santa Safe: A CAF Christmas Story.
For this year: “This year, the NORAD techs on duty will be tasked to locate and track Santa on Dec. 24 using radars, satellites and infrared sensors. Once he is located within Canadian airspace, Santa will be escorted by RCAF CF-188 Hornet aircraft from both 3 Wing Bagotville, Quebec, and 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta.”
If you have not seen it, it’s just because you haven’t been paying attention.
WTF are you on about? Get your head out of the tinfoil and live a little. There are no jets in the tracker and that’s that.
It was not necessary to come out of the gate with insults. But since you did, let me tell you: resorting to insults when you don’t have any semblance of an argument is a clear sign of a feeble mind. And yes, that’s an insult because it seems that’s the level of communication you are comfortable at.
Me: live a little and don’t make up conspiracies = not an insult
You: you have a feeble mind.
I guess you admit defeat, hypocrite.
Citing the verifiable facts you call making up conspiracies? Tin foil is not an insult? Maybe in your mind where things are scrambled up by dishonesty. You don’t see anything wrong with how you treat others but are very sensitive when you feel wronged. It’s cute that you think there was even a contest, let alone the defeat to speak of. You are not able even to trade the insults on the same level. But have a good New Year. Everyone deserves it.
