Canada built that bridge to facilitate commerce , thus it is subject to US customs enforcement. Don’t like it? 51st. What’s stopping ya? Quote
herbie Posted February 10 Report Posted February 10 Shows the man's descent into madness. Claiming out of the blue that something Canada paid for and already agreed to share is somehow ripping off the USA, how he assumes any right or authority to shut it down and in the same post claims China will end hockey in Canada. The ravings of a lunatic and anyone who doesn't think the 25th Amendment should be invoked ASAP is equally insane. 1 1 Quote

He probably just wants it named after him like he’s demanding of so many other landmarks. If we do that it would have to be called “The massively corrupt and clinically insane imbecile cult leader bridge” and that’s just too many letters to fit on a sign. 1 Quote

TreeBeard Posted February 11 Report Posted February 11 I thought the Conservative MP, Jivani, said that Trump loved us when he did his peace tour, or whatever that goofball thought it was. That was clearly an epic failure. Quote
herbie Posted February 11 Report Posted February 11 As I said: of course he loves us, that's wy he's always trying to f*ck us! Quote
SpankyMcFarland Posted February 11 Report Posted February 11 (edited) Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, a Republican, negotiated the Gordie Howe International Bridge deal with Stephen Harper in 2012. Here are some of his comments about Trump’s outburst, starting with a personal vignette a fair proportion of the planet’s population can identify with at this stage: Quote Last night, my wife and I had a quiet evening watching Olympic highlights, including some incredible Michigan skaters. The quiet was quickly shattered by President Donald Trump’s announcement that he might stop the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. So who loses out if this deal is canceled or delayed? Quote Obviously, Canada. They have a huge investment in the bridge. U.S. and Canadian companies. The Ambassador Bridge has hindered commerce for decades and increased costs for manufacturing operations. The GHIB will solve these problems and provide for faster economic growth on both sides. U.S. and Canadian workers. The GHIB will create new jobs in logistics and other areas on both sides. U.S. and Canadian consumers. The added costs of suffering due to the Ambassador Bridge issues are added to the cost of our goods and services. And who benefits? Quote If the GHIB is delayed or stopped, there actually is one big winner: The Moroun family and the Ambassador Bridge Company. Over the decades, they have spent millions trying to stop the GHIB. Why? Every day, they make much more money at our expense. Quote In 2012 alone, they spent more than $30 million on a ballot proposal to prevent construction of the GHIB. For years, they have had active lobbyists in Lansing and Washington trying to sabotage this project. They have also made very large political contributions in both places. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/2026/02/10/former-michigan-gov-rick-snyder-debunks-trumps-gordie-howe-bridge-claims/88605726007/ And shiver me timbers, look at this odd coincidence: Quote U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to block a new bridge from Detroit to Canada followed a meeting between his commerce secretary and a billionaire who owns an existing border-crossing bridge just miles from the new span, according to two people familiar with the matter. https://nationalpost.com/news/world/trump-lutnick-bridge Edited February 11 by SpankyMcFarland 1 Quote ‘How small we make our worlds.

BeaverFever Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 (edited) Bridge Owner Donated $1 Million to MAGA Group Before Trump Blasted Competitor Less than one month before meeting with a top administration official to lobby against a new bridge connecting Michigan with Canada, the billionaire owner of an existing bridge donated $1 million to a super PAC devoted to President Trump. Matthew Moroun, a Detroit-based trucking magnate whose family has operated the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, for decades, made the donation to MAGA Inc. on Jan. 16, according to a campaign finance report filed on Friday evening. On Feb. 9, Mr. Moroun met in Washington with Howard Lutnick, the secretary of commerce, who called Mr. Trump after the meeting, The New York Times reported. Hours after the meeting, Mr. Trump lambasted the competing span.… But corporations and individuals who have donated large sums to MAGA Inc. have been granted audiences with Mr. Trump and his team. Donors have used those meetings to lobby for their interests. The Trump administration has at times taken actions that have advanced donors’ businesses or personal causes, prompting criticism of a pay-to-play system. While Mr. Moroun had donated to Mr. Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign, the $1 million to MAGA Inc. is larger than any previous federal political donation on record by the Michigan businessman. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/us/politics/trump-canada-bridge-maga-inc-donation.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share MOST.

herbie Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 No. no. Just because it's right in your face and obvious it must be wrong. It must be a deeply hidden conspiracy to be true. Quote
