That was probably it.

Anyway, something hapend then along the lines of wages going up, pensions doing something, and the Canadian dollar being about on par with the US instead of 1.3 - 1, so it was no longer beneficial to make cars there. They even shuttered a big plant or two.

It looks like the CAD dollar has dropped a ton. With all the money printing going on in the US 2 and 3 years ago, you'd think the CAD should be stronger than the USD, but instead it's back to 1.3 - 1. Canada must be running the printing presses full time.

So perhaps the new bridge will get used after all?
