(Ottawa) The Consumers’ Association of Canada calls on Bombardier Recreational Products Inc’s President and CEO, Jose Boisjoli, to apologize to Canadian Consumers for the shocking treatment his Corporation has doled out to Canadians who want to purchase products in USA.

“Bombardier has gone to almost hysterical measurers to inhibit Canadians from taking advantage of the 40% differential in price between what Bombardier charges in Canada compared to the price for identical products on sale in USA” said CAC President Bruce Cran. “While Bombardier is not alone in ripping off cross-border shoppers, it is certainly leading the charge”.

“During the past 70 years the Bombardier group has been the beneficiary of many grants, loans and other assistances provided from taxes contributed by the same Canadian Consumers the company is now working feverishly to rip off” added Cran.

Apologize Mr Boisjoli and take whatever action is needed to put things right for your loyal Canadian customers.
