Sarnia residents are crossing the Bluewater Bridge to Michigan far less, with February seeing 12,000 fewer travelers than the year before. Rising costs, including $20 breakfasts and $14 bridge fares, combined with a weaker Canadian dollar and political tensions, have made shopping or dining in Port Huron less appealing. Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley blames U.S. policies, while Port Huron officials worry about the economic impact.
