More likely is that when Bombardier needs to bail out, Boeing will buy it at a fire sale price. Boeing briefly owned De Havilland Canada in the 1980's before Bombardier took it over. Boeing didn't know what to do with the Dash-8 and how to handle Canadian unions, but it certainly would know what to do with the C-Series. I strongly suspect that all Boeing is doing with its trade actions (opposed even by "Aviation Week") is to hobble Bombardier at a crucial point of the CS program by creating FUD (recalling IBM and Microsoft in their most monopolistic phases).
