Let me make something clearBombardier is very important to the economy of Quebec and Canada.
If the governments invest in Bombardier it's because it makes economic sense for them......period.
A lot of high paying jobs that simply cannot be replaced. If Bombardier would fail, it would affect other smaller companies in the industry.
Look at Boeing, Airbus and Embraer......they're all highly subsidized.
Don't expect Bombardier to fail.....because it won't.
Take for example the Q400.....For Bombardier, it was a distraction, but for Longview it will be a main focus and they will probably succed in the venture. It's a win / win situation for Canada. Same with Selling their training division to CAE. All good.
Times are tough now, but Bombardier will be a leaner and profitable company soon. It takes a bit of time, we have to be patient.
