>the move was criticized as a big gamble and an irresponsible handling of taxpayer's funds given the US [unsurprisingly] imposed 300% duty as a counter measure to the perceived government subsidies, i think the more smart thing would be to buy from Bombardier some military hardware (doesn't matter that it doesn't produce it - it could have bought some very small military contractor) at high-high prices like everybody else does - US/Boeing, EU/Airbus, etc.. |

Not to pick on the parent statement, but it brings up what I think is an important point: Let's not take these claims by the US government at face value. The US very well may have imposed the duty to help a US company, and used the rest as justification. Economic isolationism/nationalism is an explicit policy of the US government.
