Michael Jones, a 70-year-old pilot from Ontario, made a two-hour flight in a Grob G 115, drawing a massive maple leaf in the skies to express his discontent with recent U.S. policies, especially Donald Trump's tariffs and statehood comments regarding Canada. This flight symbolized his patriotism and frustration, stating it was a way to show pride in being Canadian and a resistance to being 'pushed around' by U.S. policies. Jones, an experienced pilot since 1977, felt compelled to act despite normally being a quietly patriotic individual without any visible symbols of nationalism.
I'm not really happy with what's happening across the border right now it's kind of sad. I just wanted to show that we don't like to be pushed around and we're all proud Canadians.
I don't really have a flag in front of my house or in a car or anything like that, but I sort of feel a little patriotic with what's going on lately.
