Bombardier under scrutiny by Washington

First softwood lumber. Now Bombardier is in the crosshairs of the U-S Commerce Department.

Boeing has filed a complaint with the U-S government that Bombardier has dumped its new C-Series commercial jet into the U-S at below cost prices and it wants an investigation of subsidies on the aircraft.

Bombardier denies the claim saying it structures its commercial dealings to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates.

RCMP have arrested 5 people in an international cocaine bust at the Toronto airport…and two of them are Canadian border agents.

Officials allege the pair facilitated the importation of more than 30 kilograms of cocaine from Jamaica and Colombia between January last year and April this year.
