The Gordie Howe International Bridge
is slated to open this year. However,
Donald Trump, possibly bribed by the
bridge’s perennial opponents, the
Moroun family, has cast doubt on the
bridge ever opening.
a proposal written by M Fagan that the League should lobby
the prime minister to invite the King to open the new
crossing. The King will be ‘in the area’ so to speak as he is set
to attend events in America in April marking the 250th
anniversary of the Revolutionary War.
The idea being to dangle a joint event, the bridge opening, in
front of Trump to get him to drop his opposition. Trump
seems to value prestige just as much, if not more, than money
and attending an event with the King would add to his
prestige in his mind. That this would render the Moroun
family’s 1 million dollar ‘political donation’ ineffective is a
nice side benefit.
However, it is now March and that is a rather tight time table
to get things like this organized. Alternatively, Fagan notes
that Prince William will be here for the World Cup in the
summer which would be a good back-up date.
Historically, the UK has made much better use of the Royal
Family for pursuing its interests. This suggestion presents the opportunity for Canada to do likewise.
