The Canadian military’s surveillance systems should be better equipped to detect foreign incursions in Canada’s airspace following the spotting of a Chinese spy balloon in the northern United States, says Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre.

“Why is it that our security and military apparatus does not have the ability to detect these kinds of unacceptable actions?” Poilievre said during an interview with NTD Television, sister media of The Epoch Times, on Feb. 3.
