Berkshire Hathaway buying?

Berkshire Hathaway owns Netjet, and Precision Castparts which supplies components to many aeropsace companies.  W.B. has commented that he wants to invest in Canada.  Has he start buying bbd?  W.B. is known to buy or sell and then go public.  

W.B. known the demand for bizz jet as he sees it first hand with Netjet, and future sales on demand from 
Precision Castparts.  Just an assumption.

Your link is 3 years old, and for a transaction that was done in 2016.  We are in a market where demand is high and supply  can't keep up. Not the same as 2021.

My first toughts are about a possibility but finally i think that it is unlikely. Bombardier has many elements searched by Buffet but Netjet is a problem. Netjets is owned by Berkshire and Bombardier is an important supplier of Netjet. This position would be unconfortable to manage.  In every negociation, there is a moment where you have to go ahead or walk away.  Even if firewall ...more

Agreing with Tempo1 line of thought. So many rumors at times, Flexjet huge order, now BH. And who says the BH supposed investment in Canada, which WB does not dispute, may also be the possibility of taking Trans-Mountain pipeline over; Trudeau and company want to get rid of that financial nightmare and that may suit BH? Thanks to all the financial wizards on this board whom contribute so ...more

That would be awesome, but I'm guessing Bomber is too small to interest Buffett.  Perhaps CP? He already owns a railroad headquartered in the US, so knows and likes the industry.
