This is not entirely true. Bombardier was having financial issues with the C Series and is in fact considering selling off the CRJ business. They're already spinning off the Dash 8 Q400.

This section on Wikipedia gives a succinct overview of the multiple financial issues Bombardier has faced with the C Series.

- gimmeThaBeet 8y agoYeah, I don't know enough about planes to say whether or not the C Series / A220 is good or competitive. That part seems almost secondary to the softer issues. Bombardier put a lot of time and money into the development, and then way more money and way more time. And Quebec is clearly, lets say, highly interested in making sure that planes are built, and that some of them are made in Quebec.
