Helena Guergis would like to apologize

Helena Guergis would like to apologize. For something. The Globe suggests why. The CBC, via Wayne Easter, via an anonymous letter, has further alleged details.

“On February 19, I was rushing to catch a flight at the Charlottetown Airport and spoke emotionally to some staff members. Regardless of my workload and personal circumstances, it was not appropriate and I apologize to airport and Air Canada staff.

“It was certainly not my intention to create any additional stress for airport or Air Canada employees who already have a very difficult job.

“My father was born in Summerside and many of my relatives still live on the Island, which I love and visit almost every year. To me, it is a very special place that demonstrates the best Canada has to offer. I wish to express my appreciation to all the hard-working people who make it so welcoming.”

Still more from the Globe, Star and Guardian.

    Power eventually corrupts, and its obvious her sense of "entitlement" was very strong. You dont talk to the people that pay you that way or treat them like sub-humans, they are doing their jobs to protect out security in the air. I would gladly miss my flight if their were any questions about safety. Well, she is "finished" now. I would like to see just "one" politician that "cared" for us. just "one".
