Sandwich & Broadway Neighbour to Gordie Howe Bridge
a data search with US border protection reveals a completely different set of statistics, and shows that it is the US that has a much larger problem at the border than Canada has with the US which to nones surprise completely contradicts the claims of the idiot in the WH, the People of the US need to be presented with actual facts rather than listen to the constant lies of the orange idiot. also when you remove our oil exports to the US they actually have a trade surplus with Canada, which BTW is sold to the US at a great discount, so the question is, who is subsidizing who, pretty easy to figure out. another great presentation Bob, thanks.
Love seeing the love for our 51st state! Maybe we can all owe asylum claims for all of the Canadians suffering under the current regime
Well said sir.
There is a war of 1812 memorial garden park in Hamilton Ontario. A clock on third floor of Central library has clock from Scotland via England which was buried during revolution is still ticking. Intrepid park in Whitby Ontario was home of HYDRA, the first internet. And family plots in academy hill cemetery
Excellent introduction Thank you Bob
Just think, the Canadian people paid the majority of the cost of the bridge and infastructure to enhance both of our economies and Trump shits all over Canada. This native Michigander stands with all the good people of Canada.
We call that treason. Go look at what Castro’s son has done to those good people and get back to us
Hello Bob, I love your optimism. All my life I thought that an atomic bomb was the biggest threat. Now we can all understand that a bomb is not the threat we thought it was. In reality all that was needed to destroy America was a simple lie. It is no wonder God put it into the ten commandments. Once I owned a car with no electronics. The hardest technical thing to understand was the point system and why a spark plug fires when the points are opened. In 1974 we got electronic ignition and the points and condenser disappeared from a car and a transistor replaced that. It can open or close millions of times with no wear. That led to computers and now you can not drive a new car down the road without a boatload of data streaming off your vehicle. A simple on and off proposition has become a data flow thanks to Bill Gates. Possibly it is time to build a car that has no computers and just takes you down the road. When bad people get access to data they are not entitled to as is happening now we are in danger. Our lives can be destroyed. All it takes is lies, one or a multitude. we must trust God is watching but He already explained He can not interfere in the free will we all must learn. Take care my friend. Bob
Gordie Howe would be super proud to see this bridge...
A bridge to nowhere
You tell em Bob.
What a spectacular piece of infrastructure!
Unfortunately for both the USA & Canada, once Trump gets something in his mind he refuses to let it go. If tariffs become a reality it would also have huge implications for the Stellantis plant as well.
Well said let’s hope someone can explain this to Trump
TDS
Well said, Bob !! Delusional, arrogant, corrupt politicians like Trudeau & Singh & certain individuals south of the border will not break the bonds of friendship between Canada & the USA !!
Still ,........the bridge is VERY COOL .....and well named
Excellent work on this video and reminding us that despite current issues between our countries, the US’s relationship with Canada will always be stronger than most people realize. I’m hopeful that a more fair compromise and resolution can be made in the coming weeks, before any more dramatics take effect for the media to amplify.
Just because Canada and USA were allies and partners in the past does not mean they will continue to be so in the future. The current president sees no value in the past, and he will be in power for at least four years, more if he gets his way. He is making systemic changes in the way the US government is run. He may keep Canada unsettled by halting the tariffs one month at a time. Business cannot operate with that uncertainty. Canadian manufacturers are already investigating ways to diversify their foreign trade. The GH Bridge may turn into a giant white elephant.
From WC USA, ya’all just relax, Pres Trump blew a little hot air, got PM Trudeau’s attention and now from what I understand they have worked it out and all will be good, so they can finish the bridge, when it’s done and open trucks and cars will roll and all will be great!
Hi William. Your President is a master negotiator. He got the people he wanted around the world to listen to sit up straight and pay attention. I'm blown away with his skill, not that he hasn't made me curl a brow from time to time, but thumbs up for getting things done. Lol. Canada First!
Thank you for the update. Looking forward to my first crossing.
Hi Casey. I look forward to seeing photos of your first crossing! Maybe I should collect pictures of everybody's first crossing for a compilation video?!
7:20 Here you see overhead directional signing already installed above the roadway on the Canadian side even though the bridge doesn't open until at least September. That's almost 9 months of exposure to wind, weather and time while serving NOTHING. Money to burn.
Hi Jay. Lol. Yeah that sign has been up for a few years now.
If Donald Trump has his way this bridge will NEVER open. The US needs nothing from Canada. Keep the threat of economic war going Americans. Canadians won't need bridge either - we'll trade with the rest of the world.
Hi Paul. When the dust settles and the boat stops rocking, Trump will protect the crossing and promote trade. In my personal opinion cutting 25% of all US trade between our countries is naive and short sighted. The US does need our resources and products. Trump can claim he doesn't need our trade, but when your factories in Michigan shut down and the lights go out it will be the little people like you and I that will suffer. Just my opinion. Thanks for sharing!:)
@@bobjonesrealtor7756 Thank you for your eloquent response. You were waaay too nice to this idiot.
Hi Dave. Everybody can have their emotions triggered, especially in politics. Many Canadians hear Trump/Americans want us to be the 51st State, or get economically crushed. Canada is a fraction of the USA in population and trade, but we are a proud of our Country. (Maybe not so much at this particular time considering the mess our PM has made over the last nine years.) That said, any American that thinks Canada can't stand our ground is fooling him or herself. Our friend will want our trade if his living costs rise a few thousand dollars a year when gas and power and food go up without us. Just my opinion. Thank you for the nice comment. I appreciate it.:)
Bob, I'm not sure what will seem like a bigger deal - the completion of the expansion joints or the removal of those big red cranes. Oh one other thing... Brrrrrrrrrrrrr 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Hi Uncle Pete. Lol. It was cold that day. Both are cool events I think. I believe the tower cranes will come down after the expansion joint is installed and supplies can delivered by truck onto the bridge deck.
@@bobjonesrealtor7756 Oh that makes sense. See, this is why I am not building bridges ☺
Me either buddy. :)
There is another tunnel. Port Huron and Sarnia Ontario.
Hi Louis. Your right. The St Clair Tunnel. The new tunnel was completed in 1994 and the old tunnel was sealed. The St. Clair tunnel is larger able to handle larger double-stack container trains and multi-level auto carriers. They don't however transport passengers between the countries. Thanks for the heads up, Louis. I learned something new today! :)
Be cool to ride a bike from home to Canada from Downriver/Dearborns area 😊
Hi Alex. It's a long ride but cool to think of. :)
For those from Michigan who are wondering why this bridge is considered to be the longest Cable Stay bridge in North America since the Might Mac is 5 miles long and is also a suspension bridge, here's the difference. The Gordie Howe Bridge has all the cables directly connected to the towers, while the Might Mac has two major cables from anchor point to anchor point and they hold the suspension cables that hold up the roadway.
Hi phantomeagle. Thanks for pointing that out! Always nice to have a knowledgeable voice adding to our understanding. Happy to have you here. The Gordie Howe Bridge in addition does not have any supports in the water. Thanks for sharing.
Like what I C and hear. 🌉
Thank you, William!
🇺🇸🤝🇨🇦
🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸 :)
I enjoy the video's. Do you have any idea were people will be able to park for the day on the Canadian side if they want to walk/bike across the bridge. Thanks
Thanks for the compliment. I don't know. I did a quick search to see and this is what I found; The bridge will feature a multi-use path that is toll-free and allows two-way pedestrian and cyclist traffic. While the path connects to local trails and will be part of the Trans Canada Trail, the exact public parking arrangements are not clearly specified in the provided search results. Not much help there, but I will watch for information on that subject when doing research for future videos.
Thanks Bob, great work as usual. Here's hoping for a resolution soon regarding tariffs
Looks like we get another thirty days delay on tariffs. Really what Trump is asking for Canada should have already been on top of. A quick election is what Canadians need to get rid of the current government. As for a resolution to the tariffs, we can only hope, we're all in this together.
Well done. Love the flying.
Hi Greg! Thank you for the kind words.
It is the gifted bridge that a jackass looked in the mouth. One of the many ways Canada has taken advantage of trading partner. By exporting science technology and artwork to the nation of barbarians. As he has declared to the world his signature and word to have no value or significance . With no intention to honour any contract he has ever signed.
Hey Michael. Trump is a powerful negotiator. We may not like being forced to do what should have been done years ago, but in the long run we can only hope it will be for our own good. The RCMP stated we have 4000 individual criminal organizations in Canada. More Canadians have died from drug abuse in the past 9 years than in the second world war. This isn't the Canada I was born into. Time to get back to common sense. Canada First!
Another well presented video. Good information and great photography. Thanks. In addition to pictures, the background information is priceless.
Thank you John. Now my heads so big I can't get through my office door! Lol.
I wonder if there will be a live web cam installed
Be cool to watch the Falcons. :)
great job just hope trump wont crush on it
Hey Ronald. Thanks for the compliment. Don't see how he can. They have no money in it. We will get through this BS and things will settle, but in the meantime it's going to hurt both sides.
Interesting timing for the bridge; just as your esteemed leader put a trade killing tariff on goods from Canada. Yikes
Hi floodway. I am Canadian! He's not my leader. Mine is the one who resigned but is still there undermining Canada. Lol. (I know, it's not funny) It's going to be a long road. It's looking grim for Canadian and American exporters. Thanks for the comment. :)
That is how you build a bridge. Simple and with-out, un-need parts.
Hello Hashmanclub! It is a pretty cool bit of engineering. It'll be nice to see it once they get it finished, painted and lit up. Thanks for the comment. :)
The BIG is question is the toll rate rate.
Lol. Whatever they decide I'm betting it will be at least 25% higher than yesterday!:)
Your videos of the bridge from start until now have been wonderful. Thank your for all of it.
Hi Gary. Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate it. :)
May not need this bridge because of the Orange Clown in the White House !!
Hi Robert. Time will tell I suppose. We're in for a rough ride on both sides of the river.
after the recent tariff anouncements I say take your time opening the bridge, no big hurry now, kinda glad they had nothing to do with cost of building our bridge, relations have changed forever, time to start looking for new trading partners. the openining should be done with very little fanfare.
Hi Floyd. I wonder if it will have an affect on the cost of the project. I agree it's a sad affair, but there it is. Canada should have been developing industry to refine and process our own resources. We have plenty of room and lots of everything the States need. Build Canadian and get market price instead of discounting below market and selling our resources to the States. Maybe this will be the kick that makes us less dependant on the US. Canada First!
@@bobjonesrealtor7756 , great reply Bob, I agree we should have learned our lessons long ago and 'maybe' now when the new government is in place they will put our sovereinty ahead of trying to be such a good neighbor, because currently it is not working, trade agreements mean nothing if both sides do not abide by them.
Yup. 100% on target, Floyd. I'm listening to Floyd right now. :) Delicate Sound Of Thunder. Love this group.
@ , you have good taste in music Bob. take care.
Maybe we should suspend construction. Have you been watching the news?
Hi Thomperry. Yup. Incredibly stupid move for the USA. It will bounce right back on them. Hurt the American economy and devastate the already strapped middle and lower classes. However the rich will be okay. Hopefully better terms will be worked out sooner than later. The tariffs punish the people of both countries. Sad times.
@@bobjonesrealtor7756 In the end this is a wake up call for Canada, not to rely on the U.S. for most of its trade. Provincial trade barriers have to come down, pipelines to the east have to be built.
Absolutely. And start building a few refineries so we can bring our oil to world market at market price. Canada has been foolish selling off our natural resources just to buy back the finished product. Canada First!
Hello Bob, usually I skip through RUclips offerings but your posts always get a watch. I love the part about the falcons and the connection to nature. We always have to remember that in reality we live in a world that only God could create and paying attention to sustaining to smallest particle of life is important. Events this weekend put a damper on the new bridge. Ike Eisenhower promised Canada that the USA would always look after us, he must be rolling in his grave. Betrayal by someone who has never proven why he should be supported puts a damper on everything. John Kennedy said we should not ask what our country should do for us, but rather what we can do for our country. What has the president done, beg for greatness?
Hi Robert. Always nice to read your comments. He is making a mark and stirring the pots for sure. The tariffs are a mistake the American public will feel in their pocket as well as Canadians. Lost jobs, closed businesses, bankruptcy, and soured relations on both sides of the border. A mistake in my opinion. Thanks for sharing.
"John Kennedy said we should not ask what our country should do for us, but rather what we can do for our country." . The founders of the United States would have been appalled by Kennedy's call for sacrifice. The reason the U.S. came into being was to escape the serfdom imposed upon the people of Great Britain. In other words, ask how your government can serve you, not how you can serve the government.
@@bobjonesrealtor7756: Read "The Art of The Deal", when you've got the time. Trump comes across as an axehole but he's not nearly as inept as the denizens of social media believe.
Your right pcs. Our governments are there to serve the people. That's why we pay them. However that ideal has been lost in politics. Positions of power are ripe with corruption and greed. I guess we should be happy we don't get all the government we pay for. :)
Awesome Thank you Bob
Thanks. Your more than welcome.
Thank you!:)
23 million is nothing. Sad they think this will compensate for the disruption.
Hi Solexxx. Always nice to have more, but a lot better than getting nothing. eh? :)
