Then get your fucking car companies out of here first

This is reminiscent to how the Airbus A220 came to be. Boeing got all pissy about Bombardier selling their new narrow-body CSeries for cheaper than the 737 and lobbied the government to block the sale, arguing the industry could be threatened.
Fine. We'll sell to the rest of the world while your domestic industry builds planes that have a nasty habit of falling out of the sky.
They can though. Cause of the agreement you signed your first term
Havenβt you heard Trump crumpled it up said it was the worst deal ever than ate it.
They put outs into that agreement. Reviewing it every 5 years and final say on any trade agreement made with countries not in the agreement.
Canada's China deal needs US approval to keep us in CUSMA.
Anyone who denies this is anything less than a trade war is someone who fantasizes about bullies.
Death to Donald Trump.
As many people have pointed out, Bombardier already does build in the US. They have some form of operations in 20 US states and a supplier network covering 47, and the company estimates it supports tens of thousands of American jobs.
Grew up in the Canadian prairies. As a child I heard the word "Bomba Deer" bandied about. I think it was snow machines of some sort. I now wonder if they meant "Bom-bard-eee-ay".
Huh, as a Canadian I thought Bombardier just fucked us over on trains and streetcars, I didn't know they made planes sometimes too! π
I wouldn't be surprised if they complied, they basically moved people to Dubai to sell them planes in the early oughts.
