Bombardier, the same company that had beef with Boeing, which disqualified them from the fighter review competition.
If they didn’t have beef, we would be flying super hornets, waiting for 6th gen aircraft instead.

At some point the Liberals need to deliver results vis-a-vis the US. It’s all fine and dandy to proclaim a new world order but when our own house is not in order its hard to make such lofty claims.

Anything Bombardier and Joly related sucks.

What’s infuriating is that we really shouldn’t need to ‚do all we can.‘ Trump is only threatening these tariffs because Bombardier just rolled out a best-in-class product, and Gulfstream is worried it can’t compete. In a normal world right now we’d be talking about how exciting it is that Bombardier’s about to kick ass with this Global 8000, and deservedly so.

Boeing screwed Bombardier the last time the admin was in power.
Hope we go with the GlobalEye for AWACS as our European friends are.

At a certain point, the US will become so unreliable that everyone else will find other trade partners and companies will charge a premium when selling to the USA because of the extra risk involved.
The abrupt change is and will be very hard for companies that cant shift export markets quickly enough. In the longrun though, the US will be much worse off for it.

That should inspire confidence in absolutely no one.

Sometimes it feels like something as small as the CEO stubbing a toe is enough for Bombardier to ask the government for help.

We have been supporting Bombardier for decades. This isn’t new.

What about de Havilland that has even more planes operating in the US? Like the Twin otter, CL215/415 and Dash8s? Bombardier is just private jets now. The only people they’ll impact is the Ultra High Net Worth individuals … oh, now it makes sense… those are the ones the government can hear

If the Nuke situation of Iran is hopefully resolved we will pressure the Iranian government to make a major purchase request from Bombardier for some beautiful aircraft. A Democratic government of Iran will fully support Canada.

I’m gonna make a prediction and say if Trump does this, it will all but guarantee Canada chooses to start producing the Gripen fighter jet, and Bombardier will get a huge portion of that contract.

Just for once, it would be nice to see a targeted industry quietly meet with Ottawa and plan rather than publicly panic and try to force an immediate capitulation.
Trump’s threats shouldn’t be ignored entirely, but nothing is really actionable until we get a law or at least a presidential decree to work with. I promise that the ministers would be happy to quietly meet with all stakeholders, including Bombardier, to plan and make commitments.
Ideally, when the press asks *anyone* about a random Trump social media post, the response should *always* be „we are obviously discussing things and making plans behind the scenes, but otherwise no comment.“ Bore the press into moving on to something else, and if this particular threat happens to be in the 33% that Trump actually makes good on, execute contingency plans at that time.
By making these statements and demands out in the open, Bombardier and others are effectively partnering with a hostile US administration to put pressure on our country. It encourages the Trump administration and interferes with the Canadian government’s ability to respond and plan, making it much more likely that Bombardier will face a poorer outcome in the end. It is also just not a good look in the eyes of Canadian customers or investors.
Panicking privately when faced with these sorts of threats is normal and understandable. Panicking publicly is self-defeating and unpatriotic.

Show the orange faced man. Just buy the Gripen.

How many times has Bombardier been bailed out? The last rime, they laid off their workforce and gave bonuses to management. I know this time isn’t their fault, but any funds given them must have strings attached to protect the workers.
