He should have been stopped before boarding, but I expect much.

He would have crossed our southern border very soon.

Why is it called a no-fly list when the people on it keep flying?

[gaijin]

Comments from our Canadian friends(?):

I see the right wing side still has no idea of where they are or what's going on. charlestailor writes "Personally I would sooner have someone on a no fly list OFF my plane before we headed out over the Atlantic. " The article clearly says they were going from Paris to Mexico city. Now I guess that if we listened to the Americans who think it makes sense to land in Montreal when flying from France to Mexico, then we can understand how Mr. Right Wing thinks the Atlantic will be crossed after you get to Montreal rather than after. I have a real problem with the Americans controling who flys where when their country isn't a starting point or destination. Also wy are we their dumping ground. Montreal is definantly not on the way from France to Mexico.

PS please dont bother pointing out to me that there are flights that take round about ways to places and not in a straight line. the article says that it had to land there so it was not "on the way".

Canadian authorities blaming Paris, France. Said they should have checked the lists back over there. As for those who call themselves Canadians in the remarks, I would venture this.

'Tiz not your royal bottoms ensconced in a seat in that aircraft. Not you breaking out in a sweat

Like one Canadian said, he did not want to be flying with a "no fly" passenger. The know it alls jumped on him.

At one point the aircraft may have had more of the Atlantic ocean to cross. I hope that the Mounties (who have had a bad Canadian press lately) find out something really valuable.
