FLASHBACK: Obama Admin Made Canada Pay For A $2 BILLION Border Bridge

The Obama administration made Canada pay for the entirety of a $2 billion border bridge — including the U.S. customs plaza.

President Donald Trump is currently pushing to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall; the wall was a major cornerstone of his presidential campaign. He signed an executive order Wednesday starting the wall’s construction. “A nation without borders is not a nation,” Trump said. “Beginning today, the U.S. gets back control of its borders.”

Canada agreed to pay for the new Detroit-Windsor bridge, U.S. customs building and the access roads around the bridge in 2015, according to The Globe and Mail. Ottawa failed to get the U.S. to pay for the $250 million customs building, and the Canadian government had already agreed to pay for 95 percent of the bridge’s costs. The bridge is scheduled to be finished in 2020.

In 2012, former Prime Minister Stephen Harper insisted the customs building was “the responsibility of the U.S. government.” Washington, D.C., only said the U.S. would operate and staff the building — not pay for it — and Canada caved.

Alternative truth, anyone? You can't make someone pay for something they have already agreed to pay for.

You are able to make somebody to agree doing something if you have appropriate levers.
I can hardly imaging that Canada was ready to spend millions $$$ on this project on their own will.
They may be silly, but not to such an extent. I am sure they can count money.
