Relief in Canada and North Ireland: Bombadier wins trade dispute with the US

Full article 21 comments

The Canadian aerospace firm which faced damaging import tariffs on one of its jets has won a trade dispute in the United States. The UK government had suspected that Bombardier would lose and unions feared sales and UK jobs connected to the C-Series would be hit. But in a surprise ruling, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) rejected a complaint brought by Boeing. Read full article

    What an utterly dull and uninteresting story about Britain and America's War-Machine issues, and nothing to do what so ever with Merco Sur. However ... it is relatable to the British/Falklands Military and Mt Pleasant interests, or; the Falklands Colonialspansionist Agenda. .... Even though MercoPress wants to camouflage its colonialspansionist agenda by hiding it in Uruguay.

    P.E

    Are you really so obtuse that you have not seen the heading for International News in the MercoPress banner.

    You again show your ignorance by trying to equate the ruling by the ITC about a CIVILIAN airliner with Britain and America's War-Machine issues,

    Are you really that stupid or are you just making a special attempt at attention seeking.

    Your posts are now becoming a bit of entertainment as nobody but you takes them seriously.
    It's just your way of injecting your obvious bile and hatred against the UK.

    Are you still insanely suggesting the majority of us here don't know the truth! What an outrageous insult against our moral conscientiousness! Despite our offers of an olive branch of peace and enlightenment, you brusquely deny the awareness of truth! You would be surprised to see just how swiftly an Argentine would steal someone's property being when he has absolute no claim. We've shown you an infinite patience and we certainty find ourselves severely disappointed in your stubbornness to accept truth. As you have already agreed however with the fact that even so, “the Junta was stupidly tactless and brutal.” They could've done things completely differently, to where it would have put Argentina in such a position of exhibiting their own self serving thievery and the war would have never come to the islands, and maybe even today, as islands are free and independent. With Argentina looking like a spineless mongrel hound leaving them alone. Obviously because the weakening of the Argentine military today and demoralization of the country a retaking of the Falklands will never occur.

    I'm guessing most of you have done some algebra in School. So you are aware of how to re construct a formula by looking at the result, and giving yourself a criteria.
    My criteria is ”Are we being Correct, Fair and Just entitling every citizen on Earth and each Nation their fair share of what our existence in coming to this world has entitled every human being to Live, Do and Have along the course of their lives ?
    The resultant (=) is “One of the most armed and wealthy country's on the planet saying half of the Antarctic Continent is theirs to use as they please”.
    Please go ahead and try to verify for me how you can reconcile this algebraic criteria with the resultant and have a problem that zeroes out and works, without being the ransacking lying abusive bully thieves of the planet?

    'tis always interesting to read the nonsense a spindoctor can spew.

    “A spokesperson for Bombardier said the ITC's decision was ”a victory for innovation, competition and the rule of law.“ ”

    No, the ruling was according to law. The judges couldn't care less about other reasons.

    I have an open question here for the pertinent brains to do with the creation of these supposed International Institutions of Administration and Law some 70 or 100 years ago...
    WHO THE -HELL- ASKED -YOU- TO GIVE US A ROAD MAP ON HOW TO DEVELOP HUMAN CIVILIZATION AND HOW AND WHY TO BOSS EACH OTHER AROUND !!????

    Your diatribe about algebra and whatever you were trying to say

    Look at a map of Antarctica and areas countries are claiming. You will see that the UK is claiming about 20% of the territory while Argentina is claiming slightly less, also in the UK area. Where do get the 50% figure or is it just that your maths is piss poor.

    Also, Argentina is the only country to establish a MILITARY BASE in contradiction of the Antarctic treaty to which it is a signatory viz


    Article I

    [Antarctica for peaceful purposes only]

    1. Antarctica shall be used for peaceful purposes only. There shall be prohibited, inter alia, any measures of a military nature, such as the establishment of military bases and fortifications, the carrying out of military maneuvers, as well as the testing of any type of weapons.

    These International institutions came about from national agreements. It gave smaller countries a voice. However, if you don't like it you can have the other solution ....WAR !

    Your answer is anarchy ?

    Countries needed to stop claiming land the day they realized that we are all equal and we only have this one planet to cope with each other on. You're people simply sound ridiculous still talking about “claiming land” which is on the opposite side of the globe, when the planet is on the verge of a population explosion that will have dozens of countries struggling to provide sustenance for their people. Argentina on the other hand, like Chile feel it's a contiguous part of the planet to their countries. There's a huge difference in the nature of our respective pursuits. It also makes more sense that Argentina, a provider of food to the world, grow to administer more of its resources to continue growing true to this one outstanding category definition, than Britain who's growth can only provoke one question “So they can occupy, war, purchase and exploit more where else” ?

    I agree with your first sentence. In the case of Argentina, stop trying to claim the Falklands.
    You have huge tracts of territory already.
    The rest is just your usual anti-British bile. Get your own country in order before you generously try to screw up the rest of the world.
    I notice that you have not commented on the falsehoods you posted about the UK's 50% territories you alleged that we held in Antarctica. How typical !

    We are not claiming the Falklands.
    Argentina is denouncing and making a claim against G.Britain, about yes, the Malvinas Islands, regarding British usurpation of its sovereign settlement of 1827 during 1833 . Get it right !

    @Patrick Edgar. Or whatever your name is. One wonders how you manage to be such an egregious fool. On this occasion you begin your insane rant by somehow connecting a civilian airliner to someone's War Machine.

    Your subsequent algebraic analogy is, at best, obtuse. Not to mention uneducated. Even with the supposed facade. Your criteria of ”Are we being Correct, Fair and Just entitling every citizen on Earth and each Nation their fair share of what our existence in coming to this world has entitled every human being to Live, Do and Have along the course of their lives ?“ is just plain dumb. Who are you to say what a ”fair share“ is? But even if that were accepted, I'll remind you that the territory currently called argieland was conquered by the Spanish. How was that ”Fair“? It was the application of force. Moreover, I seem to recall, in the last 20 or 30 years, some argie politician proudly announcing that there were no indigenous people left in argieland. Not true of course, but it gives a fair idea of the mindset. What are Spaniards, Italians, Portuguese, even Germans, doing in South and Central America? Where are the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans? Murdered is the answer.

    If people are willing to travel enormous distances and undertake enormous risks, isn't it ”fair“ that they benefit? Now, as I understand it, the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans were wiped out by the Spaniards. Where did the British do anything similar? For the most part, Britain withdrew from its empire, whilst Portugal and Spain had most of theirs taken away from them. Doesn't Spain hang on to the logically Morroccan territories of Ceuta, Melilla and the Canary Islands? Has Spain or Portugal managed anything comparable to the 52 member Commonwealth of Nations?

    You are simply, and unsuccessfully, attempting sophistry. Argieland is basically over-ambitious and incompetent. 1982 proved that. And a ”sovereign settlement” cannot be established by fraud. That covers 1827 to 1832. So get lost!

    @Conqueror. What a befitting name to the quality of your ignorance and limited rational. There happens to be, yes, a parameter of fairness and justice in the context of a person or a country's existence onto this planet. You simply have never learned to think as selflessly as you would have to, for your logic to see it. But mind you, it is much much simpler than you think.
    I'm skipping the idiotic part, sorry. I'm tired of it. Well... maybe I can say something in the form of a question. YOU are British, and feel you have a rightful platform from which to ask and judge these things you are accusing others of?? (I always find that one astounding!)
    ... Let's see what else as I continue to glance through barrage of obtuse conclusive erred thinking.
    ........................ not worth it. You are so far still. .... so so very far.

    Boeing 737 -800 developed into a maritime patrol aircraft from a highly successful civil airliner.

    Bombardier CSeries (100–160 passengers), with roots in the BRJ-X (Bombardier Regional Jet eXpansion) 80–110 seat jetliner concept.

    So you think that Bombardier are part of a ”US and British War Machine issues.

    Almost any civil airliner could be adapted for military use BUT this aircraft is aimed at the civil market with many interested airlines. Any other versions could be a bonus.

    Thank you for your comments which I have examined.

    CS 300 ORDERS------all civil-------- 372

    Proposed Military version...not built...orders NIL

    So, you are agreeing with PE that Bombardier are part of the British/American war machine by a proposed adaptation of a civil airliner to a military configuration....which may never take place ?

    I would not use your crude Americanism “dumbass” as that would rate your intelligence too highly

    Thank you for that accolade. You acknowledge that my intelligence is vastly superior to yours.

    I realise that your comprehension skills are very limited so I will make it simple.

    Back to the start of this forum.

    “Britain and America's War-Machine issues”

    I pointed out that Bombardier are trying to sell the C110/C300 as a new airliner to fit a niche in the medium range narrow body airline market.

    You produce a reference to a proposal for a maritime patrol aircraft which has not been built and has no buyers. In your mind this makes Bombardier part of the US/British “ war machine”
    In Belfast, in the Bombardier factory” they are acting as a sub assembly for the wings which are sent back to Canada to be joined to the fuselage.

    To regard this as a part of a British war machine is evidence of a fevered mind.

    Your use of English could be improved as your vocabulary seems to be limited to insults as you have nothing of value to say.

    eg The mic isn't buying in. meaningless verbage.

    I presume you use the word Canuck in a pejorative manner which would indicate that you belong to some low-life part of the USA.

    Are you perchance a reincarnation of the sorely missed Hepatia ?
