Are you suggesting we let a corporation follow what's in its business self-interest, and not boycott those traitorous pseudo-allies to the north? Well lets see. If the business requires certain types of equipment to operate, and if there are no domestic makers of said equipment, and if one of the best makers of said equipment is from a pseudo-ally, then yes.
Besides, I know the Canadian government was against us, but I know a lot of Canadians (quebec doesn't count as it is a frog province) were for us. Look we had our Piece-O-$#!t president, why can't other countries have one too? The exception of course being France which is just, well... French and no friend of anybody except themselves.

It's a foreign corporation, whose government (which betrayed us, by the way, but that's beside the point) subsidizes it, contrary to the tenets of free trade and free markets. Therefore, it is an illegal subsidy, which gives the company an unfair edge against our companies, which is why our companies don't make those types of jets. They can't compete with illegal subsidies.

When there is no competent domestic maker, and the foreign supplier is from an enemy state, then the federal government must interfere in the market and create conditions for a domestic supplier.
