Ignatieff and Air Canada

I found this interesting quote in this G&M article while flying AC on Saturday :

"During the 2006 leadership campaign, the Liberal Leader managed to insult 25,000 Air Canada employees when he said on the popular Quebec television show Tout le monde en parle ,
“What scares me is Air Canada. They are not courteous enough. One thing which unites us, in this country, is our hatred for Air Canada.”

And this same article muses....

"Mr. Ignatieff's search for a campaign plane. Wanting to avoid having to rent an airplane from Air Inuit again for a potential fall election campaign, the Liberals are shopping around for another airline. Remember, the Dion Liberals got caught out and ended up with an old bruiser of a plane for the 2008 campaign. "
