Is it weird that the President of AC Rouge couldn't figure out how to link to the correct Air Canada company profile on LinkedIn?

Should I be shocked that a senior executive at a major airline has such poor spelling, punctuation and grammar skills, or has this become the norm? It really suggests laziness, poor education or a combination of the two.

I had to do a double take to confirm this wasn’t fake news.

Maybe his native language was French (really Québécois) or at least he was educated where French (again Québécois) was the dominant language.

To be honest, I thought that campaign was one of the more foolish things I’ve seen. Shortly after I saw his early appeals on Twitter (it had fewer than 500 retweets at the time), I did a deep dive into his social media profiles. It became apparent to me very quickly that the young man doesn’t have much restraint over his spending habits.
In one picture he appeared to be wearing some sort of Pokémon onesie... His hair colour and style changed several times this calendar year alone... And he spends an awful lot of time talking about video games and seems to own some fancy equipment/accessories to support the playing of said games.
All in all, it looked like he has made a series of less-than-wise decisions in several different respects. It really seems like he’s living in some sort of fantasy world where he thinks his troubles can just be magically fixed.
After my deep dive into his social media, I feel the best thing this young man could receive would be advice from a financial professional. That would be far better for him than any free trip to YDF ever could be. After all, if you give a man a fish...
