Well,  the only little problem is that Canada is part of NORAD/NATO,
and both the US and Canada have joint agreements for Arctic defense.
This usually buggers the mind of visiting US congressman when they find
out the commanding officer of the "US" Air Defenses is a Canadian...

In my opion, if and when the US wants to shoot down a Soviet plane,
and it is over Canadian territory,  I would not be surprised if a
Canadian officer in the NORAD/NATO structure gave the order...
