What would happen if the Alberta government offered to bail out Bombardier and invest money in exchange for equity and representation on the board. Then use the influence to move factories and research to Alberta.

We could diversify our economy away from oil while also saving a national flagship company.

I know it is completely tongue in cheek but I would like to see the reactions to proposing it. Apparently taking the day off today left me with too much time on my hands.
