Indeed. Michigan, Maine and all the border states are hurting more economically than most others due to Trump's antagonizing of Canada.

He's basically driving every country with strong economic ties to the USA running into the arms of other countries (like China).

This will be on TV during the midterms and 2028.

Republicans want to shut down Michigan to prop up billionaire's Moroun family's monopoly on crossing to Canada.

Republicans hate Americans.

No one cares anymore if a car is made in China. You can thank Trump and Elon for that.

Trump’s sudden about-face on the most important Canada-US border crossing came after meeting with the billionaire family that owns the rival bridge. Nice scoop, confirming suspicions of everyone who has followed this file and is familiar with Trump

Getting tired of it? Most of the Canadians I know are beyond furious at his threats to make Canada the 51st state.

Of course. Billionaire bros flocking together to save their billions from competition from anything new. What a banana republic the USA has become. Shame on oligarch Matthew Maroun.

The billionaire owner of a bridge connecting Michigan with Canada met Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, on Monday hours before President Trump lambasted a competing span, in the latest flashpoint in the deteriorating relationship between the United States and Canada.

Matthew Moroun is a Detroit-based trucking magnate whose family has operated the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, for decades. He met on Monday with Mr. Lutnick in Washington, according to two officials briefed on the meeting who requested anonymity to discuss a private conversation.

After that meeting Mr. Lutnick spoke with Mr. Trump by phone about the matter, the officials said.

Trump just wants his cut. He's a gold plated mob boss.

So furious that they might... apologize? Or do what?

We are fighting back by finding new trade partners, boycotting US tourism, boycotting US autos, avoiding US consumer products. We are doing what we can to resist.

They may just take up becoming the 51-61 states adding 10 senators and 57 congressmen. These would all be left of the current democrats. This would eliminate any chance of republicans winning the presidency, house or senate.

I welcome our future Canadian over lords!

You’re seriously unaware of the extent of Canada’s boycott of US products and travel? It’s been going on for a year.
