Supporting Bombardier?

Steve D · Oct 6, 2017

I for one have decided to give up on snowmobiles. I have a team of locally bred huskies, and am building my own sled out of trees I cut. This way I can say I'm not supporting anyone elses agenda in case their values don't line up with mine perfectly.

I also will stop paying taxes and live off my damn land like a hermit! That'll teach those damn foreigners.

What a dismal and pointless thread. I don't want to buy anything out of western Canada because of Energy East? The question is...........Do all eastern Canadians support the cancellation of Energy East or just a few vocal politicians? And proof on your theory would be nice to back your arguments?

"Dismal",Most definitely. It s a sad state what our once beautiful country is in.
"Pointless" I don't feel so, nor do many other people from the west that feel taken advantaged of from Quebec! What might be pointless is a comment from anyone associated with the company in question!

Steve D · Oct 6, 2017

I'm not associated with the company, and I'm further west, but I can assure you my comments are even more pointless!

Wait... uhhh... sh**... umm where was I going with this...

NO! I have a point! My point is that holding a grudge isn't going to get you anywhere, except on a better sled. (Nyuk nyuk)

Tree huggers will not be happy with you cutting down their tree's to make a sled you know? Lol

For all of you up in arms about energy east not becoming a reality.... take a breath. It was doomed to fail for the following reasons. That line was only proposed back in 2013 when oil was trading around $100.00 a barrel. Conventional and oilsands expansions were on the table and money was flowing like water in a river. We thought it would never end...not this time. I should know because I was in it and still am. Every two bit well that was shut in that could produce one or two barrels a day was put back on line. It was insane how we spent money. TransCanada needed to get it to tide water. Ambitious but not impossible. At a $100/barrel the political will would most likely fall in place to back it up. Moving forward to today. The price of oil tanking to below $30/barrel. You can thank Saudi Arabia for that one. The Paris climate accord that Canada is commited to. Enviromental road blocks/ Denis Coderre, and the lack of re-investment in the oil sands ( Shell pulling out). Going south with XL and west with Kinder Morgan makes sense and is doable at the current prices in today's model. Energy East being the most expensive, not so much. Not saying its impossible, but it would require another oil boom price wise to occure. So to boycott BRP because it's produced down east is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

yes, owned by the same family group. but yes separate companies, whatever that means. more government handout money i'm guessing. which is all good if you are the receiver of such funds. i am all for buying Canadian, just don't like having to buy the same product twice over.

ummm, no.
Again, they are not owned by the same family group.

Larry the Beaudoin family still holds minority shares in BRP. They do not own BRP outright since 2003. Check google again bud.

I've rode doo for several years now and have been really happy with the product, including last year with a 850 that ran flawlessly! I was planning on running an 18 850 this year but recently been having second thoughts. After learning today of the cancellation of energy east and the pleasure taken by Quebec politicians from that result, as well as the endless government hand outs to that province at the west's expensive I'm seriously thinking of saying F you doo I'd rather support the hard working people of Minnesota!

Look the Mayor of Montreal may be a piece of Sh!t but be careful who you decided to boycott. There is just as big a piece of crap west of us. Who would take just as much pleasure shutting down the Kinder Morgan pipeline. So there goes softwood lumber and salmon, hum???? guess won't have to worry about the salmon much longer the clean energy hydro dams are killing those off, just a few more dams and there done. My suggestion is take the new G4, point it up a steep and deep hill hold it to the bar. Your gonna be just fine. Not a worry in the world and a sh!t eating grin to boot, money back guaranty.

You may be right you ole coon dog. Looks like there has been some stock sell off since 2014. I just had a chat with my DM. He told me the family has no say in the company as it is an investment trust? I am no money man so maybe someone knows more about that than me.

no idea, other than what i was reading, to much for this old guy, and really it matters not anyway. seems like everyone is on edge around here and all over the world lately. i'm thinking, we need to all take a deep breath and calm down a bit. we will have a chance in 600 days or so to adjust our present situation, and we all need to get informed, and do something about it! Vote the POS out. question every dam political candidate on where they stand and what they say they will do. no more cumbya. just my opinion.

i think it is miller time there Ken, i'll buy you a beer :beer:
