Show Notes
Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau is resigning due to backlash over his English-only condolences following a fatal crash. Prime Minister Mark Carney supports the move and emphasizes the need for a bilingual successor, as language skills are crucial in Quebec, where French is dominant. Rousseaus weak French has been a recurring issue, with critics citing his mostly English speech in Montreal and a motion passed by Quebec lawmakers urging his resignation. Air Canada is legally required to serve customers in both official languages, and with Quebec elections approaching, the demand for bilingual leadership is expected to persist.
