If you do the math, it seems to me that Bombardier has laid-off 11 980 employees in Canada since 2001. That's 39% of their workforce. :roll:
11980-9265 = a net loss of 2715.
Oh, now I'm a dick! First retarded, now a dick. Any other gems to add?
"Anything else to add, superstar?" is pretty condescending.
