    The US has always and will always siphon away economic activity from Canada. Canada needs to adopt a more protectionist stance in trade because the US sure as hell isn’t going to stop being protectionist as fuck.

    Look at where Bombardier ended up after Boeing brought a bullshit case in front of the DOJ (the CSeries/A220 design got sold off to Airbus, who came back and sold it in the US for the exact same price that Boeing complained about). Now? Canada’s domestic plane design expertise has been sold off and all that remains is manufacturing for a foreign company.
