Gov't doesn't own BB....Compare the difference.....Air Canada gets a $6 billion dollar bail out in return for a 6% stake
in the company...plus other provisions. With Blackberry bleeding and ready to call in the
creditors back in 2012....did the federal gov't come to the rescue....NO
They did plow some money into Blackberry, but it wasn't a loan or credit....but to provide
additional jobs to students etc many years later. I don't believe BB is locked into Canada, as
there are many security companies to draw on. Even the US gov't doesn't sole source within
the States for security services. Still to early for a nice buyout of BB, Chen stated $100 US
opens the door for serious bids. Chen's retirement cake served in little over two years......
