Michael McCain, the CEO of Canada's biggest food company, Maple Leaf Foods took to Twitter on Sunday night to express his anger on the tragic plane crash of Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752.

McCain was even more frustrated because of the death of a company colleague and his family who were in the flight.

The Iranian government said on Saturday that it had mistakenly shot down the passenger jet, killing all 176 people on board. There were 57 Canadians on the flight.

In a tweet thread, McCain openly blamed the American assassination of Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani, calling it "an ill-conceived plan," and that the "collateral damage of this irresponsible, dangerous, ill-conceived behaviour" were the passengers on that flight.

I'm Michael McCain, CEO of Maple Leaf Foods, and these are personal reflections. I am very angry, and time isn't making me less angry. A MLF colleague of mine lost his wife and family this week to a needless, irresponsible series of events in Iran...
