Worst PM in Canadian history, but you can't tell that to the chicks.

Canada suggested on Thursday it could scrap plans to buy Boeing fighter jets if the United States backed Boeing’s claims that Canadian plane maker Bombardier dumped jetliners in the U.S. market.
“Canada is reviewing current military procurement that relates to Boeing,” Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said in a statement released late on Thursday.
Canada “strongly disagrees” with the U.S. Commerce Department decision to investigate Boeing’s claims that Bombardier sold planes below cost in the United States and benefited unfairly from Canadian government subsidies, the statement added.
The remarks came after the U.S. Commerce Department launched an investigation into Boeing’s claims, and pointed to the potential for rising trade tension between the two countries. Boeing and Canada are in talks over the purchase of 18 Boeing Super Hornet fighters this year or in early 2018.
President Donald Trump has called for a stronger stance on trade with his “America First” policy that got a boost on Thursday when Commerce formally announced its intent to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The Commerce probe in Boeing’s case, which was expected, parallels a probe by the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) into Boeing’s allegations that Bombardier sold 75 CSeries planes to Delta Air Lines last year at a price well below cost. Bombardier has rejected the allegations and the two sides clashed at an ITC hearing on Thursday on whether the companies’ competing plane models are even comparable.

It seems that what they have up there as PM is a Francophone Barry Sorrento.

Nice to see Commerce Dept. doing something useful for a change...
...and anytime we’re pissing off other countries companies, that’s a good thing.
They’ll sell way below cost, but then Albertan tax payers make sure those bombardier folks are paid well. What a scam.
Trudeau is trying to break his dad’s record of being the worst prime minister in the history of Canada.

Will undoubtedly achieve his goal in a short time. Pink panties fluttering in the international breeze.
It’s an ‘effing mess and Trudeau has his froggie fingerprints all over it.

typical Obama clone
why is that a good thing, ....comments like that demonstrate why the vast majority of good Americans get typecast as assholes
Huge termination costs the Canadians have to cover, and they also lose every penny of their down-payment.
LOA is very specific.
Won’t hurt Boeing, really.
Worst PM in Canadian history, but you can't tell that to the chicks.
I'm usually reluctant to slam leaders of our allies but what little I've seen of your new PM leaves me particularly unimpressed.
I once saw a youtube video of your former PM,Mr Harper,addressing the Australian parliament.If that speech is indicative of his basic character,his "gravitas",I'd say he was quite impressive.
The comments section is on fire.
They probably sense a kindred spirit or physical similarity.
He is succeeding in breaking the country. To be fair, the country was already broken with too much socialism flying around. It’s just accelerated now.
We need to be the 51st state, or off on our own in Alberta, the current status quo is a suicide pact.
Get a trifecta with Saskatchewan and Manitoba. They can keep BC.
“why is that a good thing, ....comments like that demonstrate why the vast majority of good Americans get typecast as assholes.”
If I’m not mistaken, good Americans not only get typecast as assholes, but stupid as well.
Letting Canada dump their subsidized products here proves that Americans ARE stupid and Canadians are the assholes.
It is simply, provide proof Bombardier’s sale of these planes were subsidized in contravention of any existing trade deal or shut up.
Boeing has received numerous govt subsidies for decades....pot....kettle ...black.
harper was a good P.M. and he had to endure Obama...Trudeau is an Obama clone
Canada finds reason to cancel arms purchase. Why is this news?
Saskatchewan and Manitoba would follow. Any area outside of Vancouver in BC would want in too.
I’ve actually been giving this a lot of serious thought.
In my next meeting with the wildrose, I’m going to ask that we send some folks to discuss this with the president.
