Apparently Transport Canada has agreed with Russian authorities to provide an emergency landing site for Soyuz rescue pods. Saskatchewan.
I agree with the authorities (Canadian / Russian) that Saskatchewan is the perfect place to land those space vehicles. It’s just that a couple of mayors prefer that Ottawa informs them first before making these kind of decisions next time:
“It’s entirely news to me,” he (ed. Mayor of the town of Estevan) said. “But it’s quite amusing. I must share this with the mayor of Yorkton.”
