A bridge providing the only highway link between Eastern and Western Canada split in two Sunday afternoon, and is closed indefinitely as engineers examine the damage.
Local news reports say an expansion joint failed in the severe cold causing one half of the newly built Nipigon River Bridge to rise by two feet.
“Canada has been cut in half,” said Nipigon Mayor Richard Harvey. “If you want to take something from Toronto to B.C., it goes across this bridge. There is no alternative. Every truck that goes across Canada goes across this bridge.”
Harvey said engineers are currently working to find out what exactly happened to the bridge along the Trans-Canada Highway, how serious the problem is and how long it will take to fix.
“Clearly there is a problem, how bad the problem is no one knows at this point,” said Harvey.

Moving cross country in two weeks. So now I have to go into Murica, where I may or may not be banned. I left it up in the air and have no idea where I stand there.
Should I sneak in like someone from Spanish Canada? Tell the border guard I suck his or her cawk? (its 2016 ppl, girls have cawks)
Will some one sponsor me to be an immigrant for a day or two?
