Notice how the assembly location for the C series is now in Alabama, granted at an Air bus facility. President Trump: 1, Rest of the world: 0 Gotta hand it to him, President Trump wins again. Losers are the Unifor members. Too bad there are no political leaders found anywhere else on the planet with a micro gram of intelligence.

Yup... Trump just used Canadian taxpayer money to put Americans to work.


*Facepalm*

[blackpowder]

Too bad there are no 'other' politicians with intelligence.

So they gave it away so they didn't have to repay the 10 year old loan. ....nice ROI for the taxpayers .....****ing crooks...

By the time the NAFTA negotiations are settled Trudeau will have included the US. In the equalization scheme.

[the big wheel]

What geniuses gave big gift which gave legitimacy to USA claims of unfair trade which then destroyed the company.
And on top of that too dumb to counter and list all the subsidies the Americans give their businesses including farmers which is a staggering amount.

One moron taking another moron to the cleaners. Lol. Shouldn't laugh I guess as we're paying for it.

[binthere]

Just a scheme to get all that bail out money into private hands. Watch who will be making donations to Trudeau foundation.

[danny W1M]

....and jobs going to Alabama. Does truduea get more seats or fewer in que-beck next election?

[Bowerpower]

We're all just sheep. The whole world a is giant scam run by corrupt politicians and their friends. When will people wake up and expect more.
What a joke the world has become.
New world order.......

Trump outwits dimwit

Looks like a brilliant business move that will save Canadian jobs.

Some of you guys were so happy when the US was announced 200 then 300% import duties. This gives the C Series potential access duty free to the US market plus greater access to all world markets.

All aerospace manufacturers get big subsidies from respective governments. Good or bad that is the world we live in. Would you rather Bombardier goes broke and all those jobs disappear? No Conservative or Liberal government wants that to happen.

The Fraser Institute study on subsidies showed Alberta and Saskatchewan get lots of business subsidies as well. Saskatchewan gets more than Quebec per capita!

Saskatchewan GDP has also doubled. Quebec barely keeps up to national average...


You're right aerospace gets subsidies... However bombardier isn't an aerospace company they doddle in a bunch of stuff and none is done well.


Plus how many jobs do you think will stay in Canada. Airbus is a very efficient, capable, and stable company with vastly better resources and facilities. The C series will get built in Alabama.


Nothing wrong with a partnership. However when half of the project belongs to the governments and the other half was given away for free to Airbus... Unless you don't have a grasp of math there is no way to see this as being a bet benefit to Canada.


Bombardier will go the way of Nortel and RIM. just with a lot more government money because it's in Quebec.

300% duties do seem extreme until you realize that is what is keeping US dairy products out of the Canadian market. Will not be saving Canuckistanian jobs because what are the Unifor hacks in Toronto and Montreal going to be doing now? Collecting pogey.

So you are okay with subsidies as long as it shows benefits in jobs and GDP?

Both Saskpower and Sasktel are public crown corporations. Both have done a good job in keeping rates low and providing a decent service. So government partnership or ownership is not a problem for most in Saskatchewan.

In Alberta early on the government invested heavily in research and development of the oil sands and provided low royalty rates. Was that a good investment when many of the players are foreign owned multinationals?

I think what is at play here is hate for Quebec because of politics. It is not about subsidies to Bombardier because western businesses get subsidies too. It is about petty partisan politics as Quebec like it or not is a political force in Canada. Western far right Conservatives hate Quebec because they are an impediment to their political views and aspirations and have a differing world view.

Politics is about compromise. Andrew Scheer made it clear he wants to move away from the extremists in the party because he can't get elected under that. The far right echo chamber here on Agriville is not representative of much, except an angry bunch who lost the last election and cant get over it. I don't expect much objectivity from an angry mob.
