The CBC is sane-washing this word salad post:

As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just “take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won’t even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don’t think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
He thinks Canadians are so concerned about the threat that China has for “ICE Hockey” that we must surrender to his demands!?
It’s time we talk nonsense back. There is no bridge Mr President.
…and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve.
Oh don’t worry, we are…
I think it could get a bit more 1814 still
Lies and insanity. President Pedo is losing what little mind he ever had.
Handily, he has made the USA so toxic to visit that we may not be needing that second bridge after all.
So, they built a bridge and paid for the whole thing? And we are mad about that? I’m not sure I understand.
As I understand it:
The existing bridge is a toll bridge that was sold by Michigan/Detroit to some fuckwit billionaire. He collects all of the tolls, spends nothing on upkeep.
Ontario and Detroit/Michigan notice the existing bridge isnt enough for the traffic, and forces all of the traffic through residential areas.
Detroit and Windsor worked together on plans for the new bridge that connects directly to Ontario’s 401 highway system. Fuckwit went to extreme lengths to block the new bridge, even buying the votes to block it at the state level.
The Canadian side works with various US interests to secure a US side of the new bridge, then later gets an exemption from the Fuckwit’s state law from the Obama era government.
The agreement reached says that Canada pays for the entire bridge, with the caveat that Canada will see 100% of the toll money until they recover the money spent building it. After that I am not sure what was planned with the toll money. Edit: 50/50 split to Michigan and Canada.
The fuckwit and Trump clearly want to steal the bridge and keep the toll money.
Nice summary.
Doesn’t take many assumptions to reach that conclusion either. Occam would concur.
Neither does Trump.
Oh no, they built a free bridge! The horror! This is monstrous, China is going to ban maple syrup and kindness!
U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to block the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, poised to become the newest border crossing between Windsor, Ont., and Detroit.
The only thing I know about Gordie Howe is a “Gordie Howe hat trick” and it’s the perfect name for a bridge to America these days.
Gordie Howe, a Canadian from Saskatchewan, played for the Detroit Redwings for 25 years.
Also “Elbows Up”
Rename it Trump bridge and invite him to the grand opening. Then just push him off the bridge and rename it to something with class.
25% of trade with Canada by the way lol. It would be flames if they closed Windsor to Detroit.
Not that they will, but they could.
