Bombardier has always been the darling of Canadian and Quebec nationalists and business.
Indeed, the story and history behind Bombardier is one that typifies Canada's sense of adventure. My how times have changed.
What do I mean? For a company that is considered a Global Fortune 500 company, they sure know how to stick their hands out in hopes of a government subsidy. In the latest spat with the government, Bombardier is threatening to move to the United States to build its CSeries jets - unless the government ponies up the cash to keep them here. Read more about here.
Bombardier as the pride and joy of this country is a little bit of a fallacy. Let it go to the U.S. and see what it's worth in competition with companies there. Furthermore, when will the government stop "investing" in losing industries like the one Bombardier is in?
Scratch Bombardier's image and find behind it a poster of a taxpayer with a donkey's ass.
Bah. So if I hear them correctly, now taxpayers are forced to save 2500 jobs at Bombardier?
Time to call their bluff.
