Boeing saw an ally in the Trump admin and NAFTA renegotiation and tried to play a curve ball.
Because some of these planes may actually be made in the US, it's possible Airbus+Bombardier may have completely outmanoeuvred Boeing, rendering the recent rulings irrelevant.
Canada, a small open country with an open culture, is really in a tight spot next to the USA.
Ironically, I'm not sure how much open borders benefits Canada - it benefits Canadians because they can move to the US ... but almost everyone I know who is talented moved to the US long ago - that's where the HQ of everything in.
One could say the same of midwestern states: sans a 'core' economic sector to drive them, the rest of the more powerful states will eat their lunch.
- drpgq 9y agoYeah I've wondered for a while about the crowing over students from Waterloo moving to the US. Would Canada be better off if there was no TN visa and companies would have to employ them in Canada? Also good point about Canada and the midwestern states being in the same boat. I'm sure Nebraska loses a decent number of software engineers to California every year.
- Robotbeat 9y agoI'm not sure what midwestern states you're talking about. Places like Minnesota are doing very well and have the "HQ of everything," too.
