The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.
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
Let me help you out Donald...I know reality is so confusing...
The CA$3.8 billion ($4.7B US) cost of construction has been funded by the
Canadian federal government, paid for by bridge tolls. The bridge itself will be owned equally by Canada and the state of Michigan.
The project was negotiated by former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder — a
Republican — and paid for by the Canadian government to help ease congestion over the existing Ambassador Bridge and Detroit-Windsor tunnel. Work has been underway since
2018.
2018....weren't you President in 2018?
That 'buy American exemption' thingie?
Because the bridge was being financed almost entirely by the Canadian federal government, the Obama administration agreed in 2012 to exempt the project from Buy American procurement rules, and instead
permit the use of either Canadian or American iron and steel.
Two components of the project on the Canadian side of the Detroit River — a sprawling customs plaza and an "approach bridge" to connect the crossing with the Rt. Hon. Herb Gray Parkway, a new extension of Highway 401 — are not subject to the 2012 waiver, which means the materials for those parts may have been sourced elsewhere.
Oh yeah...there were those (the billionaire Moroun family...owner of the Ambassador bridge) who asked you to revoke the Obama exemption in 2018 also...you failed to act.
Little late to get all butt hurt now.
