Telling it like it is - and on behalf of many millions of Canadians.  We know   
   that Trump is the one to blame for the past few weeks of death and turmoil.    
   We want him the hell and gone just as much as millions of Americans do.

   Maple Leaf Foods CEO takes aim at U.S. government over downing of PS752 by Iran   
      
   Michael McCain says he's 'very angry' in Twitter thread mourning loss of   
   colleague's family   
      
   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.   
      
   Flight PS752 was mistakenly shot down minutes after taking off from an airport   
   on the outskirts of Tehran, just hours after Iranian missiles targeted bases   
   where Americans were stationed in Iraq.   
      
   They were retaliating for the U.S. killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.   
      
   Iran has admitted the plane was mistaken for a hostile target amid those   
   soaring tensions with the United States, after first pinning the crash on a   
   mechanical failure.   
      
   Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said Iran must take full responsibility for   
   shooting down the plane. He said that must include a full and credible   
   investigation, but he's steered clear of pinning the crash on the Americans.   
      
   "I think it is too soon to be drawing conclusions or assigning blame or   
   responsibility in whatever proportions," he told reporters last week.   
      
   McCain said he's both livid and mourning for his colleague's wife and   
   11-year-old son, who were killed on the plane.   
      
   CBC News reached out to McCain for further comment. In response, Janet Riley,   
   the company's vice-president of communications and public affairs, said in an   
   email that McCain "would prefer to let the messages in his tweets speak for   
   themselves. He felt    
   the tragedy warranted his response."
