Manual Maroun died in 2000 and you would be hard pressed to find a man more despised in Detroit than that asshole.

Fuck the Maroun family. Manuel acquired the bridge through purchasing a controlling interest in stock and it’s been a bone of contention ever since. The state of Michigan should just seize it from them.

But for fucks sake, open the Geordie Howe Bridge! What an asshole Trumpy is.

It will cut the Ambassador bridge traffic to nothing but cars which will make things easier for Detroiters and WIndsor residents.
