Among the lives destroyed when an Iranian missile brought down Flight 752 last week were the wife and 11-year-old son of an employee of Maple Leaf Foods. On Sunday night Michael McCain, the company’s CEO took to Maple Leaf Foods’ official Twitter account to blast Donald Trump for putting in motion the events that led to their deaths.
Predictably after McCain’s tweets were published a #BoycottMapleLeafFoods hashtag sprung up on Twitter, though it was followed shortly by a #SupportMapleLeafFoods hashtag campaign. The debate over how much responsibility for the plane’s destruction lies with Trump’s decision to assassinate a high-ranking Iranian general has divided users on social media, though we have yet to see any polling of how Canadians in general view Trump’s culpability.
None of these risks would have been lost on McCain, a seasoned executive, even if he was gripped by intense emotion when he unleashed his string of angry tweets. And it’s not just because as the second-largest shareholder of Maple Leaf Foods, with a 38.9 per cent stake worth $1.2 billion, his position at the company is secure.
Good for McCain.
Easy to blame a high profile public figure as a member of the silent majority or a capitalist. Pointing a finger at somebody else always involves pointing three fingers at yourself.
Extremely close to the innermost circle of the Liberal elite. I won't purchase anything from a Trudeau Insider again.
Ok....so he doesn’t deal in truth...he can stand in line...
Damn juvenile
