Agree with the core statements. Canada is at a big disadvantage in that segment to Airbus (subsidies from multiple deep pocketed governments) and Boeing (state and municipal tax breaks and big defense contracts). Maybe there is another successful niche in aerospace like the Canadarm down the road for us. It will be interesting to see how well the C series does.  Apparently, Boeing is at 46% of global backlog. If Airbus pushes them down to 40%, they will lock up global dominance perhaps for a generation. I don't agree with comments about the death of C-series. Why would Airbus build an assembly line for a program that intend to kill? One issue I haven't seen any comments on is IP ownership. Is that 50-50 also? Remember that Nortel auctioned their patents off for $4.5 billion.
