The CEO of Maple Leaf Foods spoke out against the United States government days after an Iranian missile accidentally shot down a Ukrainian jetliner, killing all 176 people on board — including, he said, the family of a company employee.
In a series of tweets on Sunday, Michael McCain said the time since Wednesday's crash has not quelled his anger over what he describes as a "needless, irresponsible series of events in Iran." The tweets were sent from the official Maple Leaf Foods account, though McCain characterized them as "personal reflections."
Fifty-seven Canadians were among the 176 people killed on Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752. There have been vigils and memorials across Canada commemorating the victims, as well as protests calling for de-escalation in the region.
McCain said he feels that "a narcissist in Washington" destabilized the region, ultimately leading to the crash.

How utterly despicable a disgrace to the human race do you have to be to be doing business with the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism? Doing business with a state that supplied weapons that kill Canadian troops in Afghanistan?
Does this utter scum bag have no shame what so ever? Is profit over everything his only principal?
He doesn’t want a zillion bots emailing him about how they will never buy his syrup or whatever the hell they make again.
Well, I’ve never heard of Maple Leaf Foods, so boycotting it is pretty easy.
His name says it all!
Betcha something else is making this fish jump. Wonder what it is?
I’m from Vancouver and you can compare them to Kroger, but smaller. They sell their sh*t everywhere, but when I was there, I hated the crap they sold and went with their rivals instead. Looks like I was right in not buying their crap since high school.
He’s a McCain! It’s a DNA defect!
Ok, Hoser.
What is Maple Leaf Foods? What do they make so I can remember not to buy it?
His statements will not age well.

as an ex-canuck, mind you canadians have been brainwashed to hate Americans, their rich and powerful neighbors. This asshole was just itching to mouth off, and this was the right time..

Hey Mikey, your jihadi pal Soleimani was exterminated in Iraq, not Iran.
Yet another CEO with $HIT for brains!
Was the shooting down of a plane leaving Tehran the capital of Iran filled with people leaving it ordered ? It would appear many Iranians feel that it was, and no accident.
According to the Koran Moslem clergy can and do authorize followers execute anyone who refuses to become moslem which includes ones fleeing areas they control .
THAT WAR IS THIS:
MSM and reporting news agencies reporting knowingly avoid referencing the religious aspect of these conflicts. Portraying the conflicts going on between entities in the area as territorial acquisition when they are actually sectarian. Based on enforcing absolute conformity to a theocracy. That orders followers to adhere to Koranic laws who’s radical theological assertions have gone unquestioned or unchallenged by leading monotheistic religious leaders like Pope Francis. Followers obeying what they claim are Our Creator’s orders which has them authorized by God to execute unbelievers including those fleeing the area they control.
For a minute I thought it was Maple Leaf Farms in Indiana. They sell duck and chicken products. Instead it’s some nut from Canada and NOT Maple Leaf Farms in Indiana.
