(TNS) Because it’s fashionable for those on the Left to blame everything bad that happens in the world today on Donald Trump, a Canadian CEO has taken to social media to point a finger at him after Iran shot down an airliner full of people, including 65 of his fellow citizens.

A “livid” Michael McCain, CEO of the Canadian food company Maple Leaf Foods, took to Twitter on Sunday night to blame our president for essentially being a leader and taking out the world’s foremost terrorist facilitator, Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
I’m Michael McCain, CEO of Maple Leaf Foods, and these are personal reflections. I am very angry, and time isn’t making me less angry. A MLF colleague of mine lost his wife and family this week to a needless, irresponsible series of events in Iran…

…U.S. government leaders unconstrained by checks/balances, concocted an ill-conceived plan to divert focus from political woes. The world knows Iran is a dangerous state, but the world found a path to contain it; not perfect but by most accounts it was the right direction…

..A narcissist in Washington tears world accomplishments apart; destabilizes region. US now unwelcomed everywhere in the area including Iraq; tensions escalated to feverish pitch. Taking out despicable military leader terrorist? There are a hundred like him, standing next in line

…The collateral damage of this irresponsible, dangerous, ill-conceived behavior? 63 Canadians needlessly lost their lives in the crossfire, including the family of one of my MLF colleagues (his wife + 11 year old son)! We are mourning and I am livid. Michael McCain.

Absolutely pathetic.
Apparently, Mr. McCain believes American leaders should simply ignore acts of terrorism and militarism against American forces deployed in countries not named Iran. Soleimani has been linked to the deaths of more than 600 Americans fighting in Iraq and Syria, most of whom, no doubt, had families too.
Also, Iran is responsible for the downing of the Ukrainian airliner carrying the Canadian citizens, not Donald Trump. And there was no “crossfire;” that is a Left-wing media myth. Iran had been firing missiles at a couple of bases in Iraq; there was no return fire from U.S. or Iraqi forces.
This disgusting display of cowardice is what enables dictatorial regimes like the one in Iran which, until Donald Trump became president, had been allowed free reign to interfere in regional affairs, spread Islamic terrorism, and kill indiscriminately. Mr. McCain, we are betting, shed no tears for those victims.
Appeasing and enabling Iran with funds, recognition, and capital — like Obama did — is not leadership.
And for the record, there are plenty of Iranians who are sick and tired of being abused and killed by their own government, as protests following the downing of the Ukrainian airliner are proving.
Conducting policy and pursuing national security interests can be messy, though Canadians like Mr. McCain routinely expect the United States to do it for them. In the aftermath, guys like him get to play Monday Morning Quarterback from the safety of their living rooms, so it’s easy for them to posture and deflect and ‘mourn’ because they don’t have their asses on the line (like those of us who have served in those places in and out of uniform and who went over with more buddies than we came home with).
The fact that our president has become the global whipping boy is a direct result of his refusal to play by a set of rules that for too long have favored Canadians and Europeans and Chinese — everyone but us. To hell with that, and to hell with people like Michael McCain who are butt hurt over our president’s refusal to simply lay down and take it, expending American lives in the process.

I have a canadian step monster(Hitlery voter). Forty years worth of idiotic political remarks. I had to quit visiting during holidays. Absolutely the stupidest views. Back in the 80s, she’d try and correct my language at the dinner table.
She should work harder at getting the makeup marks off her sweaters. I told her Truedope was a pedofaggot, and blackface bigot. Hahhaa.
Underage hookers are legal in Truedopeville. That’s why Hollypedos enjoy doing films on location in Canada.
Not making this up folks.
I will be boycotting the following to protest this unfair verbal assassination of our POTUS!

The rational that I read presented to blame Trump for the shoot down is that he made the Iranians “jumpyâ€. The “jumpy†Iranians allowed six other passenger planes fly out through the same air corridor between their rocket attack and the attack on the Ukrainian plane. They didn’t jump once. Not in six chances. They shot that particular plane down for a reason. Who was on that plane?
Monumentally uninterested in what a Canadian welfare parasite says or thinks about the country that protects his wimpy Commonwealth.
Canuckbrains get everything backwards–buy into all the BS that the government leftwits (advised often as not by Islamists) dump on them via the CBC. The fact that the mullahs were under such stress that they facilitated the destruction of a commercial plane leaving their own major airport shows them up for the incompetent, hysterical creeps they are and underlines the success of Trump’s firmness. Remember how untouchable both Iran and N Korea seemed under bend-over-Barry who provided them with a path to the bomb? All that’s changed and the US is up where it belongs. And it doesn’t need the… Read more »
Someone needs to inform this Canadian, Maple Leaf CEO moron it was the Iranian military in Tehran using a Russian missile that shot down that aircraft. Trump was in America winning. There was no cross fire excepting the confusion in his mind.

The CEO’s companies sell natural and processed pork products. Perhaps the Iranians learned that the plane was loaded with bacon?
