Don, the comment of mine that you're alluding to had absolutely nothing to do with radar and/or "coverage".

Don, start Here. I was disputing Ron's claim that the balloon had traveled ... "all the way across Canada".
Ron then stated Here that "All the way across Canada would be from north to south..."
That would be like saying that flying from Seattle, Washington to Tucson, Arizona would be travelling "all the way across" America. It just wouldn't be correct.
The comment of mine that you're focusing on was simply my description of what travelling "all the way across Canada" would actually entail. It had nothing whatsoever to do with radar coverage... or blankets.  [This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 02-07-2023).]

You were directly addressing Ron's specific question regarding radar or detection capability. You answered that question with "seriously' followed by a map showing the Canada wide length of the installation locations.

Don, I don't know why you're insisting that you know more about my discussion with Ron than I do. I've stated what I was addressing.

I'm sure Biden appreciates your patronage, but I'm not sure of the desire to support his decision in this case. If we knew about it on January 28th, I'd think it would have been wise to shoot it down the second it entered our air space in Alaska. The debris wouldn't have affected anyone.

It's all right there for all to see and I can both read AND comprehend WHAT I read.
Now, if you MEANT something else, you should have TYPED something else.

Yep, seriously. Is that a map of military or civilian aviation coverage? Who paid for it?
Doesn't really matter, both countries failed as it applies to this "Spy in the Sky" balloon but, who's paying the bill?
We (the US) have a lot of friends, most of them because we're paying some or most of their bills.
Buying our friends is going to eventually bankrupt us. I don't believe we can afford any more friends who don't or won't pay their own way.

Why don't we send our own balloons? And then say... "Oh man, sorry... it was an accident."
