"The federal loan is about shoring up a financially weak company so it can continue to do all the sorts of things this country needs. Bombardier invests heavily in research and development, exports most of what it produces, has a highly skilled and well paid work force, and sustains a vast network of suppliers across the country."

Why then is this company always weak, always in trouble financially? Why is it always growing in debt and unable to turn around, make a profit and stand on its own like any normal company should? If it wasn`t for the gov`t, it would have been long gone. Seems the gov`t is providing moral hazard, it will always be there and will never let it sink so management has less urgency to make a profit and survive, as what normally should happen in the free market.
