Wrong, this is a disaster. This whole thing is the direct result of Boeing employing the worst kind of crony capitalism with their fellow travelers in Commerce to squash any and all competition.

Canada bought a lot of airliners from Boeing, but no more. They were also going to buy Super Hornets from Boeing which was a huge boost to keep the line open and keep the factory in St Louis moving along, but no more. It will be much harder (and expensive) now for the US Navy to obtain additional Supers which they desperately need.

Good job Boeing, you just cut off your nose to spite your face and screwed the American taxpayer in the process. This company is one of the worst crony capitalist firms out there - firmly in bed with the GOPe Chamber of Commerce types in WDC.

Protectionism is not crony capitalism. It is how the nations was founded and evolved from agrarian to industrialism. Try reading some US history.

The Canuks were already crying that the Super Bug deal was to costly.
