I really don’t like your comments. I think by broad brushing all Canadians the way you have is like how some people in New York hack up Texans.

I would encourage you to stop it. The country is free, for the most part business oriented and for the most part a good neighbor to the USA, including Michigan.

Does it have it’s fair share of left leaning people just like the USA? Yes. But don’t try and tell me it has an entire nation of left leaning people that you don’t like. That is just not true.

I agree with you, I have had similar interactions with Canadians.

Canadians in Ontario dislike Americans because those they come in contact with most are from New York

“Trudeau strikes me as being a lightweight”

True and my prediction was that we would find out he is a closet perv.

You are correct. Once you get away from Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver the Canadians you meet are not anti-American whack jobs.

As a Canadian who has been both sides of the border and worked with Americans a lot, let me apologise for our left-wing, smug, anti-US, holier-than-thou leftists.

Unfortunately they get far more air-time than the rest of us who appreciate and love our neighbours to the south. It causes me great pain to have to endure the bullsh*t rhetoric of our own left, who are just as crazy as yours. Possibly ours are even dumber.

Was t this bridge supposed to be part of that UN, trans-national superhighway that was supposed to connect S. America and N. America? I remember the New American writing about a lot it in the 90s.

Having lived in the Detroit area I can tell you that a new bridge IS needed. The traffic tie-ups at the existing bridge and tunnel sometimes back-up onto city streets for many blocks.

Canada has been hateful to Michiganders

Gordie Howe's wife WAS a Michigander.

Yes, I do realize that, living in metro Detroit myself, nevertheless, I have been wondering about those international superhighways - corridors - I think they were called.

Still wish they’d named it after Bob Probert, since he was from Windsor originally.

They flood northern Michigan during the summer. And always let us know how superior they are when they are here. We get tons of tourists here from all over the country, even in the winter. We greatly prefer the Texans who for some reason supply us with the most tourists.

Is your Left still riddled with American draft dodgers from the Vietnam War era?

I think WE should put a 270% tariff on Canada’s dairy products, like the one they have on ours, and listen to them squeal.

They're also lobbying for Trump to get Canada to drop its stipulation that the Morouns tear down the Ambassador Bridge if they build a replacement span.

I'd tell that family they can go pound sand.
