Arthur Irving, one of Canada’s richest people, dies at 93
An Air Canada pilot has been fired after he shared anti-Israel social media posts of himself during a protest in Montreal.
In a message posted Wednesday on X, formerly known as Twitter, the carrier said, “We can confirm the pilot in question no longer works for Air Canada, following the process initiated on Monday.”
On Tuesday, the company said the employee was removed from service(opens in a new tab) after it was made aware of the posts it described as “unacceptable.”
The U.S.-based group StopAntiSemitism.org shared Instagram screenshots of a man identified as Mostafa Ezzo in pro-Palestinian colours while wearing his pilot uniform and holding a sign at a demonstration in Montreal that referenced Hitler.
