Harper's Niagara River moment

Stephen Harper is upset that marine forecasting was moved from Gander to "Halifax, 1,150 km away, and aviation forecasting to Montreal, 2,220 km away".

Courtesy the handy-dandy Great Circle Mapper, you will find that Gander (YQX) is actually 816km from Halifax (YHZ) and 1499km from Montreal (YUL).

For interest's sake, Gander is also 970km from Nain (YDP) and 973km from Wabush.
