Welcome back to Canada Daily, the newsletter on business, economics and politics from Vancouver to Montreal and beyond. If this was forwarded to you, please sign up here . The clock was ticking on Michael Rousseau’s career a week ago, when he posted a video message about the tragic collision between an Air Canada jet and a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport, which killed the two pilots and injured dozens of passengers, as well as crew members. The Air Canada CEO’s statement was just three minutes and 44 seconds, fewer than 500 words in total. Nothing was wrong with it except that only two of those words were in French — bonjour and merci . It wasn’t long before Canadians began talking about the insensitivity of this. The LaGuardia flight had originated from Montreal, so it was full of French speakers. One of the deceased pilots was a Quebecer. The prime minister and Quebec’s premier ripped Rousseau . La Caisse, the pension manager that’s an influential voice in the boardrooms of the province, told Bloomberg News : “There is no doubt that the video should have been in both official languages.” And yes, the spokesperson gave us that statement in French and English. So Rousseau’s retirement announcement , which arrived Monday morning, was hardly a shock. The more relevant question is where the airline goes next. Air Canada promoted Rousseau from within; he had been chief financial officer. John Di Bert, who now holds that role, was CFO of Bombardier and knows a thing or two about navigating the internal politics of a high-profile Quebec company. Mark Galardo, the airline’s chief commercial officer, has been on the executive team for almost a decade. He has a wide range of business responsibilities and has negotiated deals with Airbus. Both executives speak French. The board has also started an external search. Whoever is anointed will inherit an airline that’s in decent shape. Air Canada took on emergency government funding during Covid, but it has brought its long-term d...

Eugene_Onischenko/iStock via Getty Images Netflix ( NFLX ) is reportedly looking to double its coverage of National Football League games, seeking a four-game package that would add a Thanksgiving Eve game and an international game. Under its current package with the NFL expiring at the end of 2026, Netflix ( NFLX ) has a three-year deal for a specialized Christmas Day package, which typically includes two games. According to The Wall Street Journal, the NFL is taking a “flexible approach” to selling additional games and could open up negotiations with other current rights holders, including Google ( GOOG ) and Amazon ( AMZN ). Earlier this year, the NFL finalized a deal with Disney’s ESPN ( DIS ) to sell the NFL Network, NFL Red Zone, and other media assets. Under the terms of the agreement, ESPN now owns and operates these assets, while the NFL obtained a 10% stake in ESPN ( DIS ). However, Disney ( DIS ) has the option to buy back the NFL’s stake after July 2034. More on Netflix Netflix: Extended Gains Seem Likely Netflix, Inc.

US Fighter Jets Intercept Civilian Aircraft Flying Near Trump's Mar-a-Lago Authored by Aldgra Fredly via The Epoch Times, The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said F-16 fighter jets intercepted a plane that entered restricted airspace near President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, on March 29. The civilian aircraft entered a temporary flight restriction zone near the estate at about 1:15 p.m. ET, prompting fighter jets to dispense flares in response, which were visible to the public, NORAD said in a press release. NORAD said the flares were intended to get the pilot’s attention and are designed “with the highest regard for safety, burn out quickly and completely, and pose no danger to people on the ground.” The fighter jets subsequently escorted the plane safely out of the area, according to NORAD, which oversees the airspace of the United States and Canada. “The situation was resolved safely,” NORAD wrote in a social media post. NORAD did not specify where the aircraft originated from or where it was heading. It also remains unclear whether the president was present at the time of the incident. Temporary flight restrictions are imposed when aviation authorities seek to block off some airspaces for a limited time. These restrictions could be in place because of national security situations, major sporting events, or natural disasters, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). NORAD stated that when an intercept happens, pilots of the aircraft must immediately come up on frequency 121.5 or 243.0 and turn their plane around to reverse course until they receive further instructions on one of those frequencies. “NORAD employs a layered defense network of radars, satellites, and fighter aircraft to identify and respond to potential threats,” it said. Aircrews are reminded to check with the FAA on restricted airspaces, especially when operating near the National Capitol Region and Mar-a-Lago regions, it added. Pilots...
