    US can veto any toll hike over 10%

    Either direction. If, say, we lower the tolls to below the “other” bridge I believe Trumporreah would veto that to keep the other bridge profitable.

      That’s not what the article says, but it would certainly make more sense.

      BUT the current standard toll is $8.00 CAD, while the Ambassador Bridge toll seems to be $14.00 CAD.

        Not sure who I was watching, Clause or Large Man Abroad, but one of them suggested this possibility and it seemed sound. Considering the difference in cost to the user it seems more sound, maybe we drop the rate to get even more traffic but doubt that we would as we want it paid off asarp. Though as usual the sound bite is more important than the actual facts and regardless of facts he will still shoot himself in the foot in the end (it really did sound bad for us at first). We just need to keep on shifting away until the states are not as important to us as they currently are
