Whether this proves real or simply threatened to keep uncertainty high — blocking or barricading bridges is a self-defeating move.
Through decades of collaboration, Canada and the United States build things together, create jobs together and compete globally together.
The Trump administration was right in 2017 in its joint statement that endorsed the bridge as a priority project, calling it a “vital economic link between our two countries.” Modern border infrastructure strengthens shared economic security.
The path forward isn’t deconstructing established trade corridors; it’s actually building bridges.
