Everything is OK - as long as my economy benefits...

Two articles about arguably the most practical problem at the Detroit-Windsor border: traffic and its hampering of US and Canadian economies.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce assesses the problems in the existing conditions at the border and basically stresses the need to act and improve deficiencies, from new road connections and infrastructure to security and its efficiency.

The Schwartz Report was an investigation conducted in 2004-2005 to evaluate numerous proposals on a new border crossing that prevents loss of money due to delays, and reactions from residents and government officials. Also includes crazy mathematical analysis of the proposal's potential result... James?

Also... I posted a comment asking why waste disposing goes both ways across the border (i.e. Canada dumps in US, US dumps in Canada). Does anyone know why?
