Quebec Premier Francois Legault cautious about response to Bombardier difficulties GlobeBusiness

Quebec Premier Francois Legault wouldn't indicate if his government will decide to come to Bombardier's rescue once again.Quebec Premier Francois Legault says he’s watching the financial situation at Bombardier Inc. “very closely” but wouldn’t indicate if the government will once again come to the company’s rescue.

Questions about Bombardier’s future were raised last week after the company warned about its financial results, cast doubt about its continued participation in the A220 commercial aircraft and announced it was reviewing options to reduce its heavy debt.Quebec injected $1.3 billion into the former C Series program in 2016 to obtain a 49.5 per cent stake. Since Airbus took control, the provincial participation has fallen to 16.36 per cent.

Legault said the past investment made by the Liberal government of Philippe Couillard was a “mistake” and that it should now try to make the best possible decision.

Growing natural-disaster response risks dulling Army’s fighting edge, commander saysAn analysis by The Canadian Press last May showed the military had been asked to help with 10 weather-related disasters over the previous two years. That’s compared to 20 such calls between 2007 and 2016 Well that's a shame, because given the deteriorating mood here in st. John's, they may well need it in their snowclearing efforts. Yes, I can see how also skills required in emergency response like logistical coordination of supply lines and manpower, rapid preparation of defense positions, interacting with affected civilian populations, not to mention the physical exercise, would be useless to military So is this a govt hint further down the road they will cut off military help in emergencies here in Canada?
