Most Canadians are aware of how Bombardier gets a large amounts of subsidiaries. Subsidisation is a large part of the Canadian economy so if you were to ask any alert person here if Bombardier was getting subsidised, it would range from "probably" to "yes".

I am not sure why you're angry unless you're Canadian yourself then I guess you're justified.

Subsidisation is a large part of the Canadian economy, primarily in provinces where the economy is a disaster area. They're not disaster areas that will be fixed by subsidisation; they're maintained and made worse by market distortions of this kind.

I'm angry because Canada would be far better off as a whole without this, and the parasitic bureaucracy that sucks the life out of the non-subsidised parts of the system.
