    Nope. Tolls are split immediately.

        I don’t know what’s up with that guy. The new deal is fine, sure it was better before as it was pretty clear we keep everything but splitting half the PROFIT is alright. Also there is no word about preventing the toll to be lower than other bridge. They just can’t see past their hate for Carney I suppose.

          The frustrating part is the misinformation. If you hate him, go ahead and hate him. We can’t be so blinded by hate that we can’t acknowledge a decent idea.

          I hate Trump. These newborn savings accounts are a good idea. Trump still sucks dick.

        First line. USA Canada to split profits. If the deal is so good, why won’t Carney release the full details?

        The operating costs on a brand new bridge would be next to nil.

          What about the payment of debt you dunce.

          At best you’re willfully ignorant and have poor reading comprehension.

          At worst you’re trolling and spreading misinformation.

            If by debt you mean the cost of construction, that is now off the table. Profits (money left after operating costs) is split between USA and Canada. This is pretty much common knowledge by now.

            At least we don’t have to rename it the Donald J Trump bridge.

              you’re 100% wrong. We’re splitting net profits which is calculated after the payment of interest and debt.

              Grow up and educate yourself

                This was really hard to find. Had to do some assumptions myself. If the deal is $4.6B at a 50 yr amortization at 3% interest the combined principle / interest payment per month would be about $15M a month. No story makes it explicit, but if we assume this is taken out prior to calculating net profit, this is the number.
