I don’t think Canada can do that. There’s an airspace treaty signed by basically everyone except Russia and China that gives a lot of rights on aerospawce to airlines companies but I don’t remember the details
They started doing it in 1995. They are called “overflight fees” and Canada’s are far higher than what the US charges for large commercial aircraft. Canada also doesn’t waive the fee if a plane is landing or taking off inside Canada like the US and Mexico do.
Not really. Unlike the US President, the Prime Minister of Canada can’t do very much without the backing of the legislature and isn’t technically the head of the government. Carney does have more power than an average House of Commons backbencher, but not that much more.

I must be confusing it with something else then
As others have pointed out, we do. Most countries do aswell. Overflight fees are a thing.
Umm have you ever heard of a presidential order.
Carney can do similar if he had the right attitude
If you’re going to be all “ra ra Canada” then please at least know what you’re talking about.
Comments like this make it very evident you don’t.
No he can’t. Very few countries give a single person as much power as POTUS.
For reasons made incredibly evident over the last two years.

And then no Canadian airline can travel over any country airspace without signing individual treaties…
