2. Bombardier CRJs are one of the backbones of US regional airlines

There are several hundred in service flying scheduled service between regional airports and larger airline hubs. If Trump is really able to decertify all Canadian-built aircraft it will mean massive airline disruptions. Further, lots of Canadian built aircraft are involved in specialised missions like firefighting and a large number of Canadian-built helicopters are used by police and other emergency services in the U.S. finally, the US military operates a number of highly specialised variants of the CRJ and other aircraft types.

This is (another) insane thing to do and the basic issue is moth the Transport Canada won’t certify certain American aircraft types it’s that they will no longer act as a rubber stamp for the U.S. FAA in the wake of the 737 MAX certification debacle.
