🇨🇦 Canada paid $6.4 billion for a bridge Trump won't let us open

Canadian taxpayers funded the entire Gordie Howe bridge connecting Windsor and Detroit. Now the White House is holding the opening hostage over trade concessions while babbling about longstanding unfair practices. Minister Evan Solomon admitted it's tied to complicated negotiations before his office scrambled to walk it back. Translation: we built infrastructure on our own dime and now beg permission to use it. Peak sovereignty.

This is what happens when you let foreign powers dictate terms on your own soil. Carney's cabinet can't even keep their story straight about whether testing delays or Trump tantrums are the real issue. Meanwhile the Moroun family, which profits from the competing Ambassador Bridge, conveniently donated $1 million to a Trump super PAC before all this started. Nothing to see here, just Canada getting extorted at a border crossing we paid for in full.
