Canada paid for the entire construction and will be giving 10% of the toll revenue to the US until the 90% cut of tolls pays for the construction cost, at which point the tolls will be split 50/50. The ownership of the bridge is equally split.
It's a ludicrously good deal for the US already. This likely comes down to the billionaire Republican private owner of the only other, old-ass bridge wanting to stall this one opening so he doesn't have to lower his own tolls.
Still though, burgerland got a free fucking bridge and finding a way to fuck it up.
Blocking a bridge named after Mr. Hockey in a city who’s nickname is Hockeytown, in the largest city in a vital swing state is going to really hurt republicans, both is state and federal races.
