While the footage of Monday’s plane crash in Toronto, Canada is terrifying, miraculously, everyone survived. Still, after a spate of accidents—including the horrific crash between an Army Blackhawk helicopter and a commuter plane over the frigid waters of the Potomac River in Washington DC in late January, which took 67 lives—many folks are nervous about flying and the state of our aviation safety systems.
Which is all the more reason it seemed woefully out of touch for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to start tweeting about hockey shortly after the Toronto incident.
This was super important to the Canadian leader:
