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.

WINDSOR POLICE NEWS RELEASE
Police seeking grouchy green holiday heist suspect

The Windsor Police Service is investigating the theft of a gift intended for a child on Santa’s Nice List.

Earlier this week at a holiday event in the 2500 block of Jingle Bell Lane, witnesses reported a suspicious character making off with a brightly wrapped package.

Through investigation, officers determined that the suspect entered a nearby home via chimney before fleeing towards the North Pole in a sleigh-like vehicle. He may be in the company of a small dog wearing antlers.

The suspect is described as green male with yellow eyes, approximately 6’2" tall, with a slim but fluffy build. At the time of the incident, he wore a red Santa suit and sported a mischievous grin.

Please help us return the gift before Christmas. Anyone who can identify this suspect is asked to post their tips in the comments section.

A special surprise! 🐣

Two Canada Geese have decided to make #UWindsor their home (who can blame them 😉😍) and built nests on our campus.

We love seeing them around, but remember to keep your distance and do not disturb them as the mothers are very protective.
