RE:RE:RE:RE:AC vs BBDEADS was created with EU government money and Boeing has large US military contracts and customer base. Knowing this bombardier went poking both bees nest. The Canadian Government never signed up to support or subsidies c series but they did but it wasn't enough. Unfortunately Canada doesn't have the market, nor a large tax revenue to support such projects. This is why Canadian government support will never be enough to compete globally for any Canadian company. We dont have the market, we dont have the population, and we dont have the tax revenue money. Pratt Canada is good example of Canadian innovation (tech and people) and American financial and market support.
