Steve Bellevin writes: In fact, that's the
reason why the U.S. pushed Canada pretty hard to get rights to fly some
test runs in Alberta (I believe it was Alberta).  There was substantial
(or at least loud) Canadian opposition to such flights.

The cruise testing took place at CFB Cold Lake in Alberta. There was a fair
amount of opposition but the testing was completed, there were worries about
the missiles crashing into communities etc.
