Quebec Liberals have some explaining to do:  (1) their $1.3bn investment for 50% of cSeries last year bought them a big seat at the table; (2) So how on earth could they have agreed to surrender 1/2 of their share to Airbus for nothing, plus surrendering an option to Airbus on the entire program, with nary a guarantee for Quebecers on a single cSeries factory or job or intellectual property?  Its all gone, but for the the niceties of a long term transition agreement. There is no chance in Hades that Airbus's full buyout option will bring anything of material value to the Quebec taxpayer or aerospace employee. So either Couillard was hoodwinked badly in 2016 or he was hoodwinked beyond disgrace in 2017.  If only QC citizens understood Corporate Finance 101, they should be burning buses along de Maisonneuve.
