That’s not quite right. Canada’s subsidy of Delta’s order only came after DL purchase second hand 190s, passing on the C-series altogether. Bombardier failed sales strategy put them in a desperate bind that threatened the program, and the Canadian government stepped in to help them out. Basically there’s no evidence that such a subsidy was ever offered to anyone but Delta.
