It's not an invasion: UN-marked aircraft only in city for maintenance
North Bay Nugget ^ | February 21, 2022 | Jennifer Hamilton-McCharles

The City of North Bay garnered national attention on social media over the weekend for aircraft spotted at Jack Garland Airport.

A video posted on Twitter and TikTok of two United Nations airplanes parked at Voyageur Airways at Jack Garland Airport caused a flurry of speculation and conspiracy theories.

The video, speculation and possible theories became so popular, North Bay was trending on Twitter for the last three days with people speculating why they believe the planes were in North Bay.

Thousands of people, including politicians, journalists, North Bay residents and conspiracy theorists weighed in providing possible explanations.

Many believe it was to transport police officers or UN troops to help break up the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa.

“UN plane spotted in North Bay, Ontario – appears to have been there for at least a day. I wonder where all those cops in Ottawa came from?” posted Julia.

Andrew Lawton of The Andrew Lawton Show told his followers to please stop sending him photos of the United Nations planes in North Bay.

“This has nothing to do with the trucker convoy protests. North Bay is home to Voyageur Airways, an Ontario company that provides charters and maintenance services for the UN.”

Powassan Mayor Peter McIsaac tried to clear up the miscommunication and jumped on the Twitter train telling the public “North Bay trending and people are losing their paranoid conspiracies and filled minds.”

The Nugget was contacted by several people Saturday and Sunday asking why UN planes were in the city.

The Nugget reached out to Voyageur Airways Sunday evening for an explanation.

“I can confirm that the aircraft has been in North Bay for several weeks for a routine aircraft maintenance heavy check event at our Voyageur North Bay facility,” said Melchior Schori, manager of employee and corporate communications.

“Voyageur employs approximately 220 people in North Bay, providing aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul services for a global customer base. I trust this will clarify the misleading claims.”

By Monday morning the UN planes couldn’t be seen from Airport Road.

As one of the folks who filmed the planes said, "We had a lot of snow last night, yet these planes are all clean."

And note -- the planes had been there for "several weeks," and yet days after being spotted...they're gone.

There will come a point where no one believes any elected official in Canada, and that point is coming soon.

You know, when the gut reaction to nearly *any* headline from the MSM these days is to instinctively disbelieve it, I think is one of those giveaway signs of a deeply sick and injured society.

Sort of like the “Conspiracy Theories” of planes spotted landing in airports all over the USA in the dead of night, usually when the airport operations where supposed to have been closed.

Now we know for a fact China’s JObama Xiden administration HAS been transporting criminal trespassing invaders to cities/towns all over the USA.

Funny how what the MSM always call “Conspiracy Theories” many times turn out to be TRUE but the MSM never corrects their lies.

I don’t think it’s paranoid at all.

I would fully expect all the extra cops flooding Ottawa came 8n on that plane.

Thanks, I saw that yesterday also. Clean, no snow build up. Those are prepped to be used at any moment, not sitting waiting for maintenance.

I bet the thugs on the front lines could not even speak English, maybe not even French. No wonder the words of the crowd had no effect at all. Not their own countrymen so they had no compassion.
