Canada agreed to pay for the full cost of construction, land acquisition on the US side, and connecting Interstate highway links, AND also isn't charging tolls on the US side of the bridge. This amounts to saying America should be allowed to steal Canadian money.
Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Trump's bonkers US-Canada bridge tantrum: "There's a valid concern on the part of the president that this bridge was allowed to be built, they didn't necessarily use American content. There's a question as to the proceeds of tolls."

16 straight months of average asking rents decline in Canada.
That doesnt mean your rent is coming down, but it does mean renters have more options, less increases, more leverage, and ultimately lower rents overall - which is a key measure of affordability.
