I have no direct experience so gloss over if you wish but I can't help but think people would be a bit less defensive if it wasn't an airline that had 'Canada' in its name.
The article relied on experts who did not comment on the probability of the plane landing on the taxiway but simply saying 'if It did' then it would be horrific. It's beyond me why thats not obvious to everyone.

Also, am I the only one that thinks that in 2017 there isn't technology to automatically alert everyone when the plane is pointed at a taxiway and not a runway? Surely measuring vectors and adjusting for crosswind can predict where a plane is going to land no? I'm sure a dozen people will tell me why it's not easy but "if they can put a man on the moon"
