My question is less about what happens after and more about what happens before. Is it usual that all media—mainstream media and social media—would say that the airspace is closed before the NOTAM is issued? Don't you find that confusing?

I think that's what happened in the case of February 27. We read about this as Canadians before any kind of notice was issued to airmen. My concern is, if you have to issue something quickly, in an emergency, to respond to an active threat, is NavCan prepared to do so?
