🚨 Tottenham agree deal to sign Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton, here we go! 💣
New defender wanted by De Zerbi joining on £52m deal, agreement club to club done after player accepted #THFC conditions last week.
All done and Vuskovic separate case, as @David_Ornstein reports.
I worked on this file.
From one former spokesperson to another. With affection. And a red pen.
Fact check time.
Canada does not control what crosses the bridge. Customs and border enforcement are exercised by each country on its own side. Like every other border crossing on Earth. This is not a novelty. It is the border.
Canada does not own the land on both sides. Canada owns the Canadian side. The State of Michigan owns the U.S. side. That is literally the definition of a border.
The bridge was built with American labor. Thousands of American workers. Billions added to Michigan’s GDP. American steel was used. This is not a hypothetical. It is documented. Repeatedly.
Ownership. There is no single owner of “the bridge” in the way this is being framed. Each country owns and controls its side. Again. Border. That was the deal. Signed. Ratified. Applauded.
Economic benefits. The U.S. already gets them. Jobs. GDP. Trade flow. Regional growth. That is what a functioning border crossing does.
And just for the record. The President himself praised the project in 2017 and called for its expeditious completion. On paper. In a joint statement. With Canada.
You can change your mind. You can change your politics. You can even change your story.
But you cannot polish a turd.
So the new Enic are no different to the old and yet another manager hung out to dry. Regardless of opinions on Frank he has like 13 fit players. And what a relief Paratici stayed to help this month. An invaluable contribution. Vinai and his programme love letters can fuck off too
