Argicore president Neil Silver and Don Dewar of Keystone Agriculture Producers compare Bombardier subsidies to aid to western Canadian farmers. They cite Ottawa’s pledge to aid Bombardier with a 1.5 billion loan to beat Embraer and urge equal treatment for grain and oilseed producers suffering from export subsidies.
