Martel is right… don’t give up yet This is very different than the C-Series saga. For C-Series, Boeing petitioned the US fed government to impose tarrifs on a Canadian competitor. Too easy. Especially under Trump.
In the current situation, I think Boeing has less clout with the Canadian govt. at tge very least, DND should allow a competitive bid. That is what Eric is asking for... rightfully. He is asking to be able to compete. DND and Trudeau govt will have a hard time explaining why they didn't allow the home team to bid.
I am stil optimistic.
