Normally, I agree in principle with your assertations but not this time.  This is a Canadian undertaking and has little to do with the United States or Michigan other than creating a few jobs on the American Side of the Bridge.

Windsor is an auto town, like Detroit was 20 years ago before Coleman Young raped the city and it's population, dummed down from years of gestapo like rule, complied with Young's and then Kilpatrick'a agenda.

It's very important for Canada to insure the flow of imports and exports as it relates to the automotive industry.

Thats why they are building it.
Matty on the other hand is a sore looser.  He'll still make money on his bridge, just not as much as the greedy bassard wants to make.

This is the OWNERS Bridge.

The Canadian Paople have little to say about it.
As the video I posted shows, it is being done by the governments without the input of the People.

The SPP and it's subsequent other versions are all there to confuse and manipulate the People into believing they have a choice, or a "deal".
They don't.
We the People on both sides will pay for this Bridge one way or another.

As I said before; The words Free and Government have no business in the same sentence.

So what does that make Matty?  An owner of a businessman?

I liked Matty Moroun's comercials that stated, the tolls collected on the new bridge wouldn't cover the cost of the bridge. Then why in the hell does he want to build a second bridge...to lose money??

I think there is an extra "u" in his last name.

I believe it's more shrewd than a moron.  He's old school, all about monolopizing on a good thing.  He didn't get rich being a nice guy and he still isn't.

Oh he is plenty rich!  And a poor liar.

Of course if you are m.m then you find the man to be a downtrodden victim of government that is just trying to make an "honest" buck.

Missing Canadian man's body found in Michigan landfill
« Reply #50 on: July 14, 2012, 07:58:14 AM »
Kevin Joseph Arendt, 38, of Mississauga, Ontario, near Toronto, was last seen leaving a local bar around 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, according to a press release issued Monday by Canadian police.

His body was discovered Friday by workers in a Flint-area landfill, it said.
 
Constable George Tudos of the Peel Regional Police Department in Ontario told msnbc.com on Tuesday that investigators are working with Michigan law enforcement to try and determine how Arendt ended up in the landfill.

Dan Gudgel, district manager of the Brent Run landfill, told the Flint Journal that between 60 percent and 80 percent of the refuse that ends up in the landfill originates in Canada, mostly from the Toronto area.

And this has to do with the new bridge? I can assure you that he didn't get to the landfill via the new bridge.

The new bridge will increase illegal activities. Especially with the opening of American roads to Mexican trucking.

So now you worry that a bridge to Canada will effect Mexico? You really are paranoid.

There are no negatives to this bridge project, not to trash collection, not to crime, not to the local economy.

If "illegal" things are going to cross into the country, that will happen regardless of this bridge.

Feel free to keep on hating though.

I do feel free to hate the fact Michigan is a putrid dump and "free trade" is destroying our country.

I'd like to agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

As you point out, if someone wants to breach the border they do. Is Canada going to pay for the public servants needed for security, inspection and maintenance? Why is the government opening up the borders when they can't secure them as it is?

Why stifle the economy and progress in general just because of something that "might" happen.
Besides, that's not what you are arguing about, as you said before that you think Maroun should be allowed to complete his bridge, so you aren't upset about crossings, just that Matty won't be making the money off of it. Which I don't understand at all.

I asked why they didn't finish the bridge they started. Crossings aren't the problem, but the importation of waste, illegal activities, trade imbalance, and failure of the federal government to perform its Constitutional duty are massive problems. So is the debt.

And NONE of that has to do with this bridge. So I still fail to see your animosity towards this bridge.
