The question people should be asking is why does a publicly traded company need to raise capital from the government? The answer is easy, because investors (whether debt or equity) want a return that compensates them for the risk, which is high, and the capital would simply be too expensive for Bombardier to handle. So along comes the government with our easy money to the rescue of a company investors don't want much to do with.

The fact of the matter is Bombardier is a failure that can't stand on its own two feet in a competitive business landscape. So instead it sucks the blood of the taxpayer.
