Bombardier is hugely popular in Québec. The press coverage here has been so anti-boeing they have launched a PR campaign. Any politician that signs any military contract with Boeing is going to pay a huge price in Québec; maybe high enough to lose an election.
Boeing likely mis-calculated the politeness of their neighbors.
- BareNakedCoder 9y agoNot just in Québec.
- dgudkov 9y agoBoeing now trying to fix this PR disaster and airing ads on Canadian TV saying how much they love Canada.
- allengeorge 9y agoYeah. I don't know many people (outside of Manitoba, maybe?) who are buying that load of bovine feces. No one liked the BBD bailout, but we can all see a 300% duty for what it is: naked politicking.
- JumpCrisscross 9y agoWhat's the value of the Canadian aircraft market to Boeing in comparison with the global narrow-body market?
