Looks like a done deal. Great news for everyone who isn't Matty!

Horrible news for Michigan taxpayers, SW Detroit residents, and anyone breathing air in the vicinity of SW. Good for Ontario, though.

Michiganders will be paying for the Blue Water Bridge for basically forever, thanks to this "free" bridge. Blue Water isn't even making minimum revenue projections, deficit is growing, let's add another bridge because another country will pay for it, and because it will piss off Matty.

An even better idea would be to let Mr. Maroun put up a second span and become a trillionaire. Meanwhile, when we need to generate revenue, we can just jack-up taxes for the common man, because, after all, it's his fault he has to drive to work everyday.
