Canada's prime minister slams 'lack of compassion' in message of condolence from airline CEO after LaGuardia plane crash

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney slammed the CEO of Air Canada for giving an English-only speech offering condolences to the victims of the deadly crash in New York.

Carney joined in the criticism for Michael Rousseau after the nation's parliament summoned him to testify at their official languages committee for not also offering his sympathies in Quebecois French.

'We proudly live in a bilingual country. There are two official languages here and Air Canada has a special responsibility whatever the situation to communicate whatever the situation in both official languages,' Carney said.

'I am extremely disappointed by the message released by the CEO of Air Canada. It shows a lack of compassion, and we will be closely following his comments before the official languages committee as well as the comments coming from the board of Air Canada.'

Rousseau shared a four-minute condolence video online that only included two French words - 'bonjour' and 'merci.'

Antoine Forest, one of the two pilots killed in the crash at LaGuardia Airport, was a French-speaking Quebecer.

Forest and Mackenzie Gunther died when the Air Canada Jazz flight they were landing at LaGuardia collided with a fire truck on the runway Sunday evening.

Canada's largest airline is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, where French is the primary language.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
