I believe this was  problem of Bombardier's controlling shareholders own making. Had the Beaudoin family been willing to cede control as the markets would have demanded and got rid of the multiple voting shares to raise common equity on the basis of one share one vote none of this would have come to pass because there would have been no need for a government subsidy. The sheer stubborness of the Beaudoin family is the continued undoing of this company. It is a headline issue. We see the same issues of bribery in the rail division and Bombardier is now isolated as a poor  distant 3rd tier player. It's aviation division is now in shambles with the Lear program cancelled and the C Series in an serious stall.

Our only recourse at this time is to immediately cancel Boeing's F18 order and at least send a message to the US. Open up the competition to the SAAB.
