      lol negotiate over the bridge that we built and paid for because the U.S. was too corrupt to contribute their fair share?

      Do not negotiate anything. If he wants to block traffic in Detroit let him do that. There is another bridge and a tunnel until they get their shit together.

      Then again, I suppose that if they want to buy into their half then it should be fine.

      Ummm…..we paid for most of this bridge. Harper guaranteed that when he was PM. He said we needed it to boost our trade with the USA. Seems silly now but the fact is, we paid for most of it.

      I guess we have a new white elephant.

      tRump’s post is just hilarious to read. He has totally lost all his marbles. I wonder if there’s a marble mfg in the USA?

      Lol every week he shows us how stupid he can get. Let him block traffic in Detroit while there is an empty bridge.

      Just ignore their president. Really, lol.

      Especially on this topic, there is literally nothing to be gained by acknowledging his wild claims about this bridge.

      I don’t understand who he thinks his audience is when he talks about China banning Hockey and taking away the Stanley Cup. How does he imagine that talk landing? Where does he imagine it landing?

      If we haven’t learned from everything he does:

      * Air his grievances about something or the other
      * „Negotiate“ with the other jurisdiction
      * Claim he „won“ so he can announce something to his followers.

      This is what he just did with Greenland.

      I’m certainly not going to shit my pants over whatever he says now, and on that subject, he does that enough himself.

      Sorry Canada! The guy is profoundly insane and an extreme embarrassment to Americans with at least a grade 5 education.

      We already know he responds to the markets. Let him shut er’ done. It’ll last an afternoon before the market crashes and he TACOs.

      He’s just going to say some random shit, nothing will happen, and he’ll brag about winning despite doing nothing but making america look bad like usual

      Sharon Hayes posted on FB about this:

      „Interesting framing here.

      For context:

      Canada financed and built the Gordie Howe International Bridge largely with Canadian funding, including infrastructure on the U.S. side, because the economic importance of maintaining stable cross-border trade was enormous. The United States did not fund the project in any significant direct way.

      So when you read language about the U.S. needing to be “fully compensated,” it is worth asking:

      Compensated for what, exactly?

      What this really signals is not about a bridge but about leverage.

      Cross-border infrastructure becomes a bargaining chip in broader trade negotiations, dairy tariffs, Buy American rules, and geopolitical positioning. The bridge itself is just the symbol.

      Worth watching carefully, because when critical infrastructure turns into negotiation currency, the implications go far beyond transportation.

      Will be interesting to see the responses from Carney and Ford!“

      I know nothing about this bridge but given Trump’s track record he signed off on this at least twice and told everyone he got a good deal out of us even though it’s the deal someone else got.

      This bridge goes way back to Harper era pre GFC. The Americans didn’t want to do anything for it. So we offered to fully fund the bridge.
