Hehehehehehe...made me think of breaking out my photoshop skills for some of those “watch for ice” signs...:)

Gordie Howe was one hell of a player, but those elbows of his were deadly weapons! Most guys kept their head on a swivel when HE was on the ice!

Sure, it is one of the easiest most accessible routes into the U.S. from Canada. Windsor has a Muslim population, the last time I checked, of about 40%. I could go into detail with multiple experiences of just how easy it is, but I won’t. Just ask any boater on the Great Lakes.

The Canadian border is far more secure than the southern border based on the fact that Canada isn’t actively handing out maps to the USA and Their border guards aren’t being paid to look the other way.

Only Janet Napolitano wants guard towers on the northern border while illegals from every nation on the planet swarm across the southern unchecked.

LOL The last time I read about a muslim with terror ties trying to get into Canada he illegally crossed the border from Mexico and was caught trying to get into Canada from Detroit.

If I recall correctly, suspicions were raised on the American side and radioed to the Canadian side. Canada grabbed him, brought him back and we deported him to Syria.

do you just make shit up ...According to Stats Canada, The City of Windsor has a population of about 200,000, 15,000 of which claim to be Muslim...Greater Detroit has more Muslims than Windsor has people and Dearborn Mi. is the first American City to adopt Sharia Law, so your commentary implying eminent danger to America from Canada makes absolutely no sense ..the border is 3000 miles long and can be easily penetrated in numerous locations...who needs a boat...

Geesh......settle down. No where did I imply the U.S. is in imminent danger from Canada, and I will accept your implication that I said that as argumentative hysteria on your part. The thread is about the Windsor/Detroit bridge, and with the Detroit River wide open to Lake Erie a terrorist doesn’t need a f$&@ing bridge, a row boat will work.

That’s racist. Hockey is a white man’s sport. /s

Hockey is not a white mans sport! I gotcha covered!

“After a stop in Kingston of the Eastern Professional Hockey League, O’Ree rejoined the Bruins in 1960-61 where he played in 43 games, scoring his first NHL goal against the Montreal Canadiens. Even though he spent the majority of the season with Boston, O’Ree also spent some time with the EPHL’s Hull-Ottawa Canadians before the Bruins traded him to the Montreal Canadiens during the off-season.”

I’m okay with this. The glory days of hockey.

Old Time Hockey, like Eddie Shore.

If not for the drug issues, which probably contributed to his untimely death, it may very well had wound up being the Bob Probert Bridge, considering that he grew up in Windsor. He was still regarded as one of the most popular Red Wing players, ever.
