Air Canada CEO resignation reveals the deep reach of Laurentian capitalism

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau's resignation later this year, following his English-only statement following the tragic death of two pilots at LaGuardia Airport. They explore whether this constitutes political overreach into corporate governance, discuss Air Canada's legal obligations under bilingualism laws, and analyze the broader implications of Laurentian capitalism. They question where to draw the line between legitimate political accountability and excessive state interference in business decisions.
