One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade.

The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing).

The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open.

Here's the story:

For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it — six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. It’s a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs.

So why isn't it open?

Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesn’t want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead.

In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it.
Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely.

It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging.

Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires — holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth.

So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly.

Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.

Doug Ford is going to hate this video. All of it. 🎵
A reggae song about Ford Fest, his 21% approval, and that's just the start.

@TinaYazdani These complete twats are determined to ruin the education system and produce an uneducated population who will continue to vote in a conservative government. @RCMP investigate this crook and his cronies NOW.

[Lori Sirianni 🇨🇦 @4AnimalLife]

@TinaYazdani Doug Ford and his Cons wouldn't "win a massive majority today" if the RCMP did its job and charged and arrested Ford, Steve Clark, and others who corruptly tried to swindle Ontarians out of $8.4B in public value of Greenbelt lands, to gift it to Ford's crooked developer cronies.

NEW: An exhaustive review of roughly 200 flights in Doug Ford’s calendars reveal he essentially stopped flying commercial in late 2025, switching almost entirely to private flights.

Opposition blasted him during question period, but Ford insists he’s better than former premiers

Followed almost all back and now it looks like my account is buried by X.
I can understand that, I mean, I don't spread lies, nudes nor fake promises of money. And I don't attack our democratic institutions with insane accusations.

Also, say hi to Peter Falkon!

Premier Ford skipped question period today, one day after government documents revealed Ontario taxpayers covered nearly $200K in expenses tied to the purchase & resale of his $28.9M private jet.

The opposition is now demanding he repay the money. #onpoli

NEW: The Ford government tried to quietly close the public feedback period on its new education bill, changing the deadline to submit comments from May 13 to May 4 without notice. They reversed course after we asked why they were limiting public input:

@thehipofficial Saw it Friday night and I loved every minute of it! It’s a great story and they did an excellent job weaving in the music. I laughed, I cried and I sang along to the songs that have moved me for over 40 years.

It's time for the Ontario public Service to revolt.

Leak everything.

Refuse to implement the government's agenda.

Stop Doug Ford.

[Vicki Campbell🇨🇦 @merry123459]

Pierre Poilievre said on CTV News that Mark Carney owns Brookfield. It was an absolute bald faced lie told on national Television that went unchecked. Since @CTVNews won’t correct the record we will.

MARK CARNEY DOES NOT OWN BROOKFIELD.

Pierre Poilievre is a disgusting liar.

Wow. The Pope was just asked his stance on migration. His answer is amazing:

“I would change the question: what is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate.”

The time has come for the Lieutenant Governor to dissolve the Provincial Legislature and call an election in Ontario.
