@jfmezei@cosocial.ca This might be the best deal Canada could get that opens the bridge, and it might be acceptable in that basis. But I'm upset that the PM lied to the public about it. #CanPol #cdnpoli #MarkCarney

    @jfmezei@cosocial.ca I've seen a claim that the net revenues will be low in the first few years of bridge operations — that surprises me, since I'd expect heavy use from the start, and maintenance costs are lowest then. Maybe it has to do with how the construction contract was structured.

    @mpjgregoire@cosocial.ca the Windsor Detroit bridge authority has debts to pay. Removing 50% of its revenues prevents that.

    @mpjgregoire@cosocial.ca I would have kept bridge closed and let Trump pay political price and repeat that when a deal is signed you can’t just unilaterally change it.
