I was in the room.
Canada paid for the bridge.
Respectfully, sir, history doesn’t become fiction just because you say it on television.
Please stop. Sir.

This is so representative of the country. We’re living in under Donald Trump right now. I want my country back.

The Trump administration lies constantly.
Canada paid for the bridge construction with an agreement to recoup cost via tolls until paid in full, then split the tolls equally.
The lies are for Trump's base, to justify Trump's unjustifiable refusal to open a very needed bridge.
Hoekstra: You do not come into another country and run political ads against the president of the United States. That's not appropriate behaviour.
Zandbergen: Is the president coming to Canada saying you could be the 51st state and you probably should -- that doesn't seem appropriate either.
Almost 100% of America's fertilizers came from 🇨🇦 until the U.S. imposed tariffs on all CDN products. Now they've declared a state of emergency, citing a shortage of essential fertilizers for agricultural crops. This is a Trump-made crisis. 🇨🇦 warned about this long ago! #onpoli
Don't fall for his continual lies. Canada has the receipts.This bridge is jointly owned and jointly operated. As per agreement, Canada collects the tolls until the bridge is paid for.Then both sides collect tolls. This is just political posturing by Trump. Hoekstra is just wrong.
The US doesn’t need anything from Canada, they say.
NYC is in the middle of an extreme heat warning right now. Heat index near 110. First time the city might hit 100 degrees since 2012. Con Edison is already reducing voltage in parts of Westchester and the Bronx to manage the grid strain.
And a month ago, on June 1, a brand new $6 billion transmission line called Champlain Hudson Power Express started sending Quebec hydropower straight into Queens. It now covers 20 percent of NYC’s electricity demand. That’s enough for 1 million homes, flowing in from Hydro-Québec dams, on a 25 year contract.
Before that line went live, NYC got roughly 90 percent of its power from fossil fuels and about 3 percent from hydro. This heat wave is exactly the kind of event that line was built for. Peak demand, grid stress, and a fifth of the city’s power now coming from Canada.
That’s an engineering decision New York made after 15 years of planning because it needed the supply.
Doesn’t need anything from Canada. Sure.
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: U.S Attorney Jeanine Pirro announces U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn has been charged by a federal grand jury for pulling on sealant in the Reflecting Pool and faces 10 years in prison.
This is complete bullshit. Trump destroyed the pool. Send HIM to prison.
Rose garden, colonnade, oval office, East wing, reflecting pool… and now the cherry blossoms? This guy is single-handedly destroying Washington history and the Republicans just keep allowing it. Aren’t they supposed to be conservative??
Conserve something.
Carney: “We, the Germans, the UK, the French all are of the view that the tide has turned... Putin is going to lose.”
The US, notably absent from the list.
Disgusting abdication from us, but proud of our allies for holding the line on liberal democracy.
