The existing bridge is a toll bridge that was sold by Michigan/Detroit to some fuckwit billionaire. He collects all of the tolls, spends nothing on upkeep.
Ontario and Detroit/Michigan notice the existing bridge isnt enough for the traffic.
Detroit and Windsor worked together on plans for the new bridge. Fuckwit went to extreme lengths to block the new bridge, even buying the votes to block it at the state level.
The Canadian side works with various US interests to secure a US side of the new bridge, then later gets an exemption from the Fuckwit’s state law from the Obama era government.
The agreement reached says that Canada pays for the entire bridge, with the caveat that Canada will see 100% of the toll money until they recover the money spent building it. After that I am not sure what was planned with the toll money.
The fuckwit and Trump clearly want to steal the bridge and keep the toll money.
So, they built a bridge and paid for the whole thing? And we are mad about that? I’m not sure I understand.

Nice summary.
Doesn’t take many assumptions to reach that conclusion either. Occam would concur.
Neither does Trump.
Oh no, they built a free bridge! The horror! This is monstrous, China is going to ban maple syrup and kindness!
