Gordie Howe International crossing

Drew Dilkens Memorial

You can only vote on one answer.

I just heard this on the radio here in Windsor, Ontario. The mayor of Windsor has a petition going to rename the new international bridge crossing between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan from its current name of the Gordie Howe bridge to the Drew Dilkens Memorial. Says it's supposed to be a legacy thing. Should this bridge be renamed in honour of an unknown municipal mayor, or left as it is, named after a well-known hockey player?

Supposedly it was then-Prime Minister Stephen Harper that suggested the bridge be named after Howe.

Perhaps the mayor of Windsor is a long suffering Toronto Maple Leafs fan?

@beckyromero Could be. They haven't won the Stanley Cup since the last year of the Original Six, 1967.

Yes, indeed.

In Russia, Saudi Arabia, China and North Korea.

Oh sorry. I left out Cuba.

Brunei perhaps?

As long as all those you listed pay for their own bridges. A few in Mexico that they pay for too. I would prefer none in France. @beckyromero

@jackjjackson Alaska already has the Donald J. Trump Bridge to Nowhere. He couldn't figure out how to get over Shit Creek.

That was some old compromised politician long ago. No need to come up with falsehoods 😂 The President seems more than capable than traveling the world just like previous Presidents. @windinhishair

@jackjjackson Yes. He is capable of lying more than any other president while he travels to Mar-a-Lago to play golf and enrich himself at government expense. It would be nice if he'd govern the nation, work on real issues instead of hate-driven dogma, and be a real president instead of a pretend one.

Google “policy accomplishments of President Trump”. Your end will explode so warn your wife. @windinhishair

@jackjjackson His actions negatively impact the nation daily. Nothing for you to be proud of there. And he's shown he'll never be a president. Just a criminal buffoon. The entire world knows it.

There you go writing your conspiracy novel again 🙄 @windinhishair
