For example aren’t those terrific new Embraer 175s the design Bombardier sold them?

I don’t know if I buy that… the E170’s is philosophically different from the CRJ, as well as the fuselage (double-bubble), flight control’s priorities, electrical, hydraulic’s etc…

There is a ton of carry over from the E145’s, but a huge improvement on the “quiet and dark” concept from Airbus.

If you said Airbus, I would have believed you a bit more.
I’ve been wrong once before, maybe this is the second time?

Ah yes, Airbus is making those rebranded C series planes. Sorry about that,

It would be interesting to do a final accounting for how many billions the Canadian taxpayer gave Bombardier, and what the taxpayers got in return.

"Corporate welfare" I think the private-sector economists referred to that subsidization?

I may be wrong, but domestic fighter production could have been CSeries x1000
