Good for Boeing. With all of the covert operatives and government officials working for Bombardier, there should be no surprise that this in happening.
This is the result of doing business with an unaccountable socialist country run by spies and covert police. Canada simply cannot be trusted.
Boeing rejects Ottawa’s call to drop Bombardier trade complaint
Boeing Co. is refusing to back down from its trade complaint against Bombardier Inc., warning the federal government that Canada's aerospace industry will be one of the main victims if the U.S.-based giant is frozen out of future military contracts.
In an interview from his company's offices in Ottawa, Boeing International president Marc Allen said the priority is fighting back against illegal subsidies and ensuring the global aerospace industry operates by a clear and common set of rules.
"We recognize the Canadian government might be upset with us. We don't intend to upset anybody, but we plainly have to do what we believe is right," Mr. Allen said. "If we don't have a [level playing field], we all lose."
He added the company is willing to live with the consequences of its trade complaint, including any impact on Canada's planned purchase of 18 Super Hornet fighter jets manufactured by the U.S.-based manufacturer.
Federal officials refused to comment on the dispute with Boeing last week. Bombardier has publicly rejected allegations of dumping or illegal subsidies and is fighting the matter in front of the ITC.
In mid-May, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland responded to the trade complaint by announcing a review of all military procurements related to Boeing.
"Our government will defend the interests of Bombardier, the Canadian aerospace industry and our aerospace workers," she said.
However, Mr. Allen said the federal government should not forget that Boeing does $4-billion a year of business in Canada, raising the stakes in the public battle.
"If Canada kicks Boeing out, I think that will be deeply unfortunate for us both. It would be a deeply unfortunate outcome," he said.
