QUESTION PERIOD — National Defence

North American Aerospace Defense Command

October 2, 2024


First of all, shana tova. I’m wishing you a very sweet new year.

On Saturday, Alberta’s premier, Danielle Smith, attended a town hall where she entered into a discussion about the possibility of chemtrails over Alberta, and speculated that she had been told that perhaps the U.S. military was flying over Alberta and spreading chemtrails. She said she would investigate this, but she has little control over the U.S. Department of Defense.

I’m wondering if you could set to ease the minds of Albertans and other Canadians by confirming that neither NORAD nor the U.S. North American air command are flying chemical dumping missions over Alberta nor any other part of Canada.

Hon. Marc Gold (Government Representative in the Senate) [ - ]

Thank you for your question. I’m going to try to continue to model what I have just suggested that one should do.

The idea is completely without foundation and has been completely debunked. Regrettably, it took a little time for the Government of Alberta or the Office of the Premier to be as clear as one would have hoped when the issue first hit the papers, but my understanding is that her office has also finally acknowledged that there is no foundation for these conspiracy theories.
