I don't even like Carney all that much, and I still feel sorry for him having to interact with that moronic piece of shit. Imagine having to have a phone call with a world leader just so that you can explain to them that everything they said on their crappy twitter clone was wrong.

The US oligarchs complaining they should get part of the tolls can avoid paying tolls by using the other bridge. If they want tolls from the Gordie Howe they can pay Canada for building it or shut up.

Exactly – this is all about competition against the Ambassador bridge, because it'll impact the profits for them. If they wanted to see profits from the Gordie Howe, they could have stood a little taller and not let themselves get lobbied out of it.

Which sniveling weasel told Herr Orange about the bridge? He clearly didn't know it existed until like yesterday or he would have interfered with it way more and insisted his name be on it.

The Moroun Family, who own the Ambassador bridge and have been kissing Trump's ass since 2016.

They make $60M a year extorting trade.

From a joint statement given by turnip and Trudeau on Feb 13, 2017:

“Given our shared focus on infrastructure investments, we will encourage opportunities for companies in both countries to create jobs through those investments. In particular, we look forward to the expeditious completion of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which will serve as a vital economic link between our two countries.”

Ah, I forgot about past Trump, the enemy of all things present Trump does, unless he gets money and branding to go back to the initial position.
