Is Air Canada struggling with an Islamist problem?

For the second time this year, information has surfaced about an Air Canada employee based in Toronto, Blair Boudreau, who is infatuated with anti-Jew/anti-Israel hatred. And this reprobate has no problem openly professing such vile rhetoric online, even advocating for violence.

Astute viewers may recall that the first vile Air Canada Islamist Rebel News exposed was Sammy Allouba. Allouba went out of his way to openly convey hatred against Jews, Israelis, Iranians, and even anti-Hamas Palestinians. All the while, Sammy glorified designated terrorist groups and individual terrorists who tend to massacre those aforementioned people. What a kook.

Thankfully, Sammy was shown the door. And good thing, too. Is anyone comfortable with the likes of Allouba working out of Canada’s largest airport, especially given that he had access to aircraft? In any event, goodbye and good riddance.

But apparently one of Sammy’s coworkers was not paying attention. That would be the aforementioned Blair Boudreau. Boudreau serves (served?) as a Toronto-based in-flight Service Director, a role he has held since 1998.

Here’s a brief sampling of Boudreau’s online rhetoric:

• Boudreau calls on God to inflict a large catastrophe on Jews;
• He accuses Jews of collecting/stealing the skin of Palestinian prisoners;
• He attributes the 9/11 terrorist attacks to “the Jew Larry Silverstein”;
• He accuses Jews of being devil worshipers;
• He states “all Jews are obsessed with money”;
• He incites political violence by calling on the Islamic Republic of Iran to assassinate the sitting President of the United States;
• He wants to see Elon Musk commit suicide;
• He wants to see Tel Aviv bombed.

Wow, talk about Mr. Hospitality.

So it was that we reached out to Air Canada for comment. And so it was that only when the company was made aware that a story was brewing that it actually did something. This seems to be par for the course for corporations such as Ernst & Young, Allstate Insurance, General Electric, the Royal Bank, Telus and several more. In other words, just hope nobody notices hateful rhetoric and only do something proactive once someone does notice.

In any event, here are the questions we sent along to Air Canada’s media relations department regarding Blair Boudreau:

1. Is Air Canada aware of Mr. Boudreau’s hateful social media posts?

2. Do these posts violate Air Canada’s code of conduct?

3. How is it that Air Canada is employing such a radicalized and potentially dangerous individual?

4. How can Air Canada guarantee the safety of their passengers by granting Mr. Boudreau access to outbound luggage as well as access to aircraft?

5. Does Air Canada conduct a clearance check for its employees?

To his credit, Air Canada spokesman Sean Davidson promptly got back to us. While he didn’t answer our specific questions, he did provide a blanket statement which read: “Air Canada denounces hate speech and promotion of violence in all forms. The individual has been removed from service, and a full investigation is underway. We have no additional comment at this point.”

We’re not sure how long this investigation will take. But we will follow up with Air Canada in the days ahead to find out the final fate of Blair Boudreau. After all, we just marked the grim 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. And if there was a lesson learned from this horrific event a quarter-century ago, it’s this: Islamists and airplanes do not mix well.
