Bombardier airplane manufacturing sells approximately 55% of its products inside the United States. The company is based in Montreal and manufacturers the airliners mainly in Ottawa; however, component parts are made in the USA and also Mexico.
The company has a history of being heavily dependent on Canadian government subsidies and bailouts.
Bombardier employs approximately 5,000 U.S. workers and 12,000 Canadian workers but is also heavily dependent on sales to the USA to maintain over half their business. On the eve of Canada’s retaliatory tariffs against the U.S, President Trump is now recommending a boycott of the airliner. The U.S. airline builder Gulfstream has been blocked from sales in Canada by regulatory slow walking, a non-tariff barrier.
“NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough! Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A. They even blocked Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business in Canada — Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER! If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a “piggybank.” BUY AMERICAN. FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS. ENJOY AMERICAN LIQUOR AND BEVERAGES. SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA. AMERICA FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
There is a reciprocity justification for Bombardier sales restrictions in the USA considering the non-tariff barriers that U.S. company Gulfstream faces against their Canadian competition. It will be interesting to see if the Dept of Commerce or USTR enact a regulatory barrier.
Mark Carney has tariffed $50 billion in U.S. exports.
There are one thousand Billions in a Trillion.
The U.S. economy is 32 Trillion.
Put another way, the U.S. economy is thirty-two thousand billions, and Mark Carney has tariffed 50 of them.
Elbows up, I guess.

Or, in other words, BOMBS AWAY (except without using actual bombs)…
Let the shrapnel fall where it may.
I think Bombardier also makes these 3 wheeled motorcycles called “Spyders”…
Only if Can-Am is a subsidiary of Bombardier

They used to be the same company, but not today.
What percentage of Bombardier parts come from China?
The hackable parts, I’m sure.
Don’t forget their jet skis and snow mobiles. The amount of psyoped Canadians is on par with our fellow Americans. Thanks to fake media and academia.
I’d bet anything The WEF carpetbagger Carney and most WEF puppets own or fly in Gulfstreams and not a Skidoo Bombardier
Let’s get it over with and tariff all trade with
the snow Mexicans and teach them a lesson.
Then use the tariff revenue to pay any U.S. employees who temporarily loose their jobs due to tariffs .
Just like we do when there is a government shutdown.
When they come crying to open trade charge the snow Mexicans country a fee to resume trade equal to any losses any Americans lost because of their bullshit.
I agree, enough of this back and forth. They don’t want to play so send their asses packing for good.
I’m thinking Gulfstream will be okay in spite of Canadian tariffs. They do get a lot of international business.
I am also reminded that Gulfstream is a subsidiary of General Dynamics.
“Sail on lake America”
😂Love President Trump’s America first slogans 🤣🇺🇸💥🦅
It’s like taking candy from a baby, Trump stlye.
I know Carney has an MPhil and a DPhil in economics from Oxford, but I do wonder how his arithmetic is – does he even know his times tables??
“MPhil and a DPhil in economics”
His decision making tends to make one think that Mr. Carney received the “Common Core” versions.
Carney knows exactly what he is doing. The great majority of his financial investments in the United States benefit from all of this trade war narrative.
Then there is the mission given to him by globalists above his pay grade to do exactly these things to sink Canada and be a general obstacle to President Trump rearranging the global economic order.
I do think he thinks the EU is going to bail him out. HA HA HA HA
Bombardier also manufactures the Rotax aircraft engine for light sport and home built aircraft. This is a variant of the jet ski motor, a generalization for this purpose, that has gained a great market share in the US. The Rotax has a great reputation and service support far better than the legacy aircraft piston engines. But they have been charging an increasingly confiscatory price for it, leading to a need for another option. Perhaps one will emerge, there are a few candidates. The underlying strategy of the Canadian government is puzzling. The easy answer is that they are simply answering to their Chinese masters, but I suspect there is a broader explanation.
Edit: I am incorrect. The above comment on the Can Am is correct. The recreational products were split into another company over 20 years ago, and the Rotax is made in Austria by the other company, BRP Recreational Products. I don’t know if there is still any link between them since they separated.
We still need a US option.
“Fly on American airliners.”
Most of the time the passenger has no choice in the matter.
I think the great Rush Limbaugh used to geek out on Gulfstreams, and I think he owned one at one time, no? I’d like to think he’s looking down on our President with a stogie in one hand, a thumbs up in the other, and a warm grin.

Carney is a slippery customer. He scheduled 3 byelections for august 31 and won them all. On sept 1 Canada lost 42,000 jobs.
He is in fact a malignant narcissist…and very dangerous. Fortunately your President knows this and has dealt with these types whether Democrat or RINO 😎
I live in Wichita and Bombardier is here. I looked up the following information using Google AI:
Bombardier’s history in Wichita, Kansas, is deeply tied to the city’s legacy as the “Air Capital of the World”, anchored by the iconic Learjet manufacturing footprint and evolving into the company’s modern U.S. headquarters. [1, 2, 3]
Acquisition of Learjet (1990)
Expansion and Flight Testing
Transition to U.S. Headquarters and Defense (2022)
