What's in it? Random people's suitcases from a year ago? 🤔

It's a cargo plane, so no it didn't have random people's suitcases! Apparently, the plane arrived in Canada to deliver a shipment of COVID-19 rapid tests and hours after its arrival, Transport Minister announced Canada was closing its airspace to all Russian aircraft in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

I like that they waited juuuuust long enough to get those test strips.
