Air Canada’s CEO, Michael Rousseau: “I am deeply saddened that my inability to speak French has diverted attention from the profound grief of the families and the great resilience of Air Canada’s employees, who have demonstrated outstanding professionalism despite the events of the past few days.” “Despite many lessons over several years, unfortunately, I am still unable to express myself adequately in French. I sincerely apologize for this, but I am continuing my efforts to improve.” Michael Rousseau has been criticized for the four-minute condolence video posted online that included only two French words – “bonjour” and “merci”. Canadian Government summoned Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau to Ottawa after he released English-only condolence video for victims of fatal LaGuardia Airport crash PM Carney condemned Rousseau's video while Quebec leaders called for his resignation. #airlines #aviation

Mark Carney said Michael Ma has apologized for dismissing forced labour in China. So, that's the end of that. Mr. Rousseau, Air Canada CEO apologized for not knowing how to speak french and Carney forced him out of his job. Funny, how that works.

🚨 BREAKING Carney gets caught. RED HANDED. This morning my spruce called Carney’s Nepean constituency office: IT WAS ALL ENGLISH. No French. Not bilingual. This is the same PM who said the Air Canada CEO’s English-only condolence video showed “a lack of judgment and compassion.” The same PM who said Air Canada has “a responsibility to communicate in both official languages, regardless of the situation.” I called his office an hour ago: THEY QUIETLY SWITCHED IT TO FRENCH. I HAVE RECEIPTS. This same Parliament voted three years ago NOT to require the Air Canada CEO to speak French. Only the Bloc voted for it. They chose not to make it mandatory. Then summoned the CEO for not doing it. Two pilots are dead. A fire truck with no transponder on an active runway & one controller doing two jobs. And Ottawa spent the day policing the language of a grief video while the PM’s own office wasn’t even compliant? UNTIL HE GOT CAUGHT? Rules for thee. Never for me. Trudeau 2.0.

Carney conveys his displeasure that the message of condolence conveyed to Air Canada crash victims and families by the CEO had no verbal French translation "I am extremely disappointed by the message released by the CEO of Air Canada. It shows a lack of compassion." As he walks away you can hear him being asked why he himself has no French-speaking speechwriter Doesn't the lack of a Francophone speechwriter demonstrate a similar compassion shortage? And two pilots are dead and the media is obsessively focused on a language gotcha? Mark Carney

An election cycle in Canada must be at least 37 days in length. In 37 days Mark Carney will be installed as the next Prime Minister of Canada. He hasn’t announced any of his policies yet. Instead he has stated Canadians will know his policies when he is PM. This is a joke!

Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada has addressed the growing controversy over Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau's unilingual response to Sunday night's fatal collision in New York. While the mayor said it was not her role to decide whether Rousseau should resign — something a provincial minister called for on Wednesday — she added that she understands why others are calling for it. "Treating people with dignity also means speaking their language," she said. “And I think he failed in that regard — not just once, but on several occasions now.” Full story: #PolMTL

Marc Miller "But this isn't the first time that he's been told to speak French, and he should know better." Steve MacKinnon "Well, Air Canada is a private corporation." But a reminder (via Lorrie Goldstein) "However, it was this same committee that decided three years ago, during the review of the Official Languages Act, not to require the CEO of Air Canada ... to speak and understand French" How can these Liberal MPs legitimately pile-on when they chose not to require the Air Canada CEO to speak French? Faux outrage!

Simmons' mom explained how her son loved his job and wanted to retire as a boom operator. "Once he got in the back of that airplane, that was it. He said, 'I will retire from this, Mom. I will retire from this.'" "I said, 'Well, what about the pilot? You always wanted to be a pilot.' 'I'll do that with commercial after I retire from doing this.'" Gut-wrenching. Video: WBNS 10TV

Carney said he was committed to putting Canada First but he loves leaving Canada any chance he gets. I’m just a few months he’s take 28 trips. And what does Canada get from all this luxury travel? ❌ No deals ❌ No wins ✅ Higher tariffs ✅ A massive bill Canadians are paying more, getting less, and watching a Prime Minister rack up air miles instead of results. We deserve leadership that works for Canadians, not one that flies past their problems.

Deadly crash hijacked by elites obsessed with optics In the aftermath of a horrific crash at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, where an Air Canada jet collided with a fire truck, killing two pilots and injuring others, you might expect the focus to remain on the victims, the investigation and the grieving families. Instead, Canada’s political class have bizarrely chosen a different priority: language. Within hours of the tragedy, Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau delivered a public statement. It was subdued, emotional and clearly delivered by a man running on little sleep, thrust into crisis management in the darkest of circumstances. He spoke in English, with French subtitles provided — a practical decision given the urgency and gravity of the moment. But for some politicians, that wasn’t good enough. Rather than showing restraint, figures like Mélanie Joly and Mark Carney seized the moment to criticize Rousseau for not speaking French. The implication? That in the immediate aftermath of a deadly crash, linguistic optics somehow outweigh leadership, coordination and compassion. It’s hard to overstate how misplaced that reaction is. At that moment, Rousseau wasn’t preparing a polished bilingual address for political approval, he was dealing with a catastrophe. Families needed answers. Emergency responses needed coordination. Facts were still emerging. The idea that he should have prioritized delivering a second-language statement, one he is not fluent in, borders on absurd. Even more striking is Rousseau’s documented effort to learn French. By his own company’s account, he has invested roughly 600 hours into improving his proficiency. That’s not indifference, it’s commitment. Yet in a moment of crisis, that effort was dismissed as insufficient by critics eager to score points, particularly in Quebec. And that’s what this looks like: opportunism. REPORT by Ezra Levant 🍁🚛:

Last night, President Donald Trump endorsed Mark Carney. Why? Because, as Trump said, he’s “easier” to deal with, and knows that I will be a tough negotiator and always put Canada First. Carney is weak and would cave to Trump’s demands, just like he did when he moved his company headquarters from Canada to New York City. Canadians don’t want a weak and conflicted leader. They want a strong Prime Minister who will put Canada First.
