From what i heard before when i read about this, the canadians didn't have their little flashy lights on to tell the aircraft above them that they were friendly. Also there was gunfire coming up towards their aircraft in the mannor for them to think they were being engaged. They did get preliminary clearance to engage and that is when one of the pilots decided to engage the target. Right after that however the person giving them preliminary clearence told them to not engage..
In my view this was a mistake and something that was caused by not one but both sides and should be taken that way so it can be fixed in the future.
