🇨🇦 Billions for a new bridge, same truck circus

The sharpest punchline is that Windsor got a brand-new six-lane Gordie Howe bridge, and Huron Church is still jammed with trucks. So after years of grand announcements, ribbon-cutting theatre, and taxpayer cash, the big payoff is apparently wait a few weeks or months while companies update paperwork and dispatch systems, as reported. In the first 12 hours, 7,500 vehicles crossed, yet locals still saw no dramatic drop in truck volume. Amazing stuff from the same managerial class that always swears the model is flawless, only the public is too impatient.

This is the Trudeau-era infrastructure gospel in miniature: build the monument first, figure out real-world use later. The Canadian Trucking Alliance admits fleets choose based on reliability, time, cost, and service, not on Ottawa’s PR brochures. Translation: trade arteries obey incentives, not political vanity. Canada keeps getting sold expensive symbolism while sovereignty, efficiency, and local quality of life come second to elite branding exercises.
