But since they're a Canadian company and we protect our own, they continue to win contracts because we're too conservative and risk-averse to allow new companies to be formed and let Bombardier lay people off. It's finally happening and I'm glad. It sucks that 7500 people are losing their jobs but they have valuable skills that will be more useful at Bombardier's existing competitors and future, not yet created competitors.

Here's hoping some more competition happens in the Canadian business world because it's woefully uncompetitive and tends towards oligopolies and monopolies.

The reason why it'S so uncompetitive is because we still have a bunch of colonial institutions. We're colonized by our own oligarchy.
