NEW - Say Their Names: Captain Antoine Forrest and First Officer Mackenzie Gunther

Air Canada pilots names have been missing from the story that replaced them. Captain Antoine Forrest and First Officer Mackenzie Gunther were two young pilots chasing their careers and living their dream. The conversation that followed their deaths became about a CEO's French language skills and politicians demanding a resignation. Tony Chapman says nobody found the plot.

What does it feel like to watch a story get completely hijacked by the people who are supposed to be responding to it? The politicians who could not unanimously vote to investigate their own auditor general's corruption allegations unanimously found time to haul an airline executive to Ottawa. Tony Chapman says that is cheap politics. The CEO should have said one line in French. That is the whole thing. The rest is noise.

Meanwhile Kit Kat had 400,000 bars stolen off a hijacked truck and responded by saying at least the thieves had exceptional taste. Domino's launched a Kit Kat pizza. KFC invented a new hidden spice. Ryanair said a big bite had been taken out of the airline. Tony Chapman calls that the speed of life done right: finding the cultural moment and having enough confidence to be human inside it.

Topics: Air Canada pilots names forgotten, Antoine Forrest Mackenzie Gunther, Kit Kat truck heist marketing, Michael Rousseau resign controversy, loosening up society
