Bombardier really should have been told to figure their own problems out, broken up and sold the aerospace portion of the business.

But they're a huge voting point for any Federal Party that wants Quebec Votes.

Again the problem with the argument that Boeing doesn't have a competing sized plane (They would compete I think with the larger 737). Is that they see the C Series as a future competitor as its a scalible design, which could represent a future threat to Boeing, so they went hard after Bombardier.
