The plane-maker’s shares are continuing to plummet as countries around the world ground it’s 737 Max 8 jets following a deadly crash in Ethiopia. Air Canada shares are also feeling the burn as investors wonder over the company’s decision to keep its Boeing jets in the air.

The Loonie is flat at 74.84 cents US.
