Oh wow, just in time to take full advantage of the strong, enduring socioeconomic ties between these two friendly nations. I'm so glad they dedicated over five billion dollars and spent sixteen years tearing up the vulnerable (literally endangered) local ecosystem to build this; I'm sure it will benefit me greatly.

It’s a bridge owned by Canada that undercuts a US billionaire owned bridge. It’s a win in my book. And you know what’s worse for the environment? Continuing to feed a warmongering economy down south.

I'm sorry, you're saying the biggest benefit of this endeavour is that it "undercuts" a single wealthy USAmerican family who still owns an international crossing anyway? Wow, that's so worth the nearly two decades of destruction in globally threatened habitats and enough funding to support the dwindling social welfare programs that this fucking hellsite country is actually able to operate. Real fuckin one-two to the American economy by building a cheaper trade-route for them while investing more than ever in the fossil fuel industry they single-handedly maintain. Huge fuckin "win."

This is about as good of a joke as the Bridge.

Your lack of arguments is louder than your sarcasm.

Dude, I cannot express how hard I rolled my eyes at yet another internet dude demanding that I take his bitching seriously as an "argument."

I do not give a shit about what makes Canadians feel less anxious in their nationalistic insecurity now that the imperialism is ever so slightly turned on them, I care about ending a system where decisions are made like choosing endangered ecosystems to build the Gordie Howe Bridge and Herb Grey Parkway on top of. Whatever the fuck kind of freedom fighting you think you're doing by supporting that system is the LARP of someone who thinks these issues only became real when they noticed them, I don't take you seriously.
