Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau has publicly apologized for a condolence video that was delivered solely in English following the tragic deaths of pilots in a collision in New York.
The decision to issue a unilingual message has been criticized as lacking in judgment, particularly in a bilingual country like Canada where both English and French are official languages.
This incident highlights the importance of inclusive communication strategies in corporate messaging, especially in sensitive contexts involving loss and tragedy.
