I talked to a couple of space law experts to find out what to even advise the farmer on this. I had sort of thought that since it's in another country and it fell on private property, it belongs to the property owner.
But it is much more complicated than that, because of the Outer Space Treaty.
What *should* have happened is Global Affairs Canada should have contacted the US State Department, who should have contacted SpaceX.
