Default can-am and bombardier

Are can-am and bombardier the same company? I have a bombardier ds90 atv and I'm having trouble parts. The engine looks to be the same as to what's on my Polaris predator 90

BRP (Bombardiear Recreational Products) makes Can-Am quads, Ski-Doo snowmobiles, and Sea-Doo watercraft. Big company that's always on the cutting edge.

In 2003, Bombardier, sold its BRP (Recreational Products) unit to a group of investors.

That's why its called BRP not Bombardier any longer.
The Bombardier family started out in the 50s with Snowmobiles but now Bombardier only deals with jets and trains.

Kind of like the new resurrected Indian Motorcycles have nothing to do with the original and is owned by Polaris.

From good old Wiki.
On 27 August 2003, Bombardier, Inc. announced the sale of its BRP (Recreational Products) unit to a group of investors: Bain Capital (50%), Bombardier Family (35%) and Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (15%) for $875 million.[14] As part of the deal, BRP retained rights to the sprocket logo, which it subsequently modified. Its snowcats and snowmobiles dated back to the origins of the company; current brands are Ski-Doo and Lynx. Bombardier Recreational Products has also become well known for its Sea-Doo personal watercraft division which also features jet-powered sport boats. Bombardier also makes all terrain vehicles (ATVs). In 2006, the Bombardier ATV was rebranded as Can-Am. Can-Am was the name of the line of dirt bikes it produced in the 1980s which used high-tech engines featuring Rotax Automatic Variable Exhaust (RAVE) valving to create peak power at a wider range of RPMs. The bikes were shelved but technology tweaks re-emerged in the company's Ski-Doo snowmobiles (beginning with the 1989 model year Ski-Doo Mach 1). Many of today's snowmobiles produced by the company feature proprietary engineering by BRP's Rotax brand engine production plant located in Austria. BRP's Can-Am product is among the high tech recreational vehicles which include the Can-Am Spyder, a three-wheel roadster with a rear-drive wheel and featuring a vehicle stability system (VSS), anti-lock braking system (ABS) and other safety and electronic vehicle control enhancements as certified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
