If I recall they sold a very good product for a dollar because of extremely anticompetitive and monopolistic abuse by Airbus and Boeing that would have made Rockefeller blush. If bombardier was an American company I think the DOJ would have come down hard on Airbus and Boeing. But they can't be expected to protect foreign competition.
I don't recall any of the abuse coming from Airbus. Because of all that hubbub with Boeing resulting in US tariffs, the A220 is now manufactured in Alabama by Airbus.
