"The Daily Show" visited Detroit recently to investigate the opposition to the new bridge to Canada, which Canada has agreed to finance.
It's not Detroit's best moment.
"Detroit, Michigan, the city that is doing perfectly well and needs absolutely no help rebuilding its infrastructure," said host Jon Stewart as he introduced the six-minute piece.
Daily Show correspondent Al Madrigal managed to find people who talk about the new bridge being a dangerous conduit for "Chinamen" and how Canadians cannot be trusted. The most sensible person is the Roy Norton, the Detroit-based Canadian Consul General, who explains that billionaire Matty Moroun, who owns "the most important border crossing in North America," is financing the anti-bridge campaign because he owns the Ambassador Bridge.
Madrigal repeatedly tries to interview Moroun by asking a woman collecting tolls on the Detroit side of the bridge where to find him.
Madrigal also pokes fun at the Chrysler Super Bowl ad that featured Eminem.
And he also tells Minister Malik Shabazz, a Moroun supporter and leader of a local Black Panther chapter, "I think you're working for The Man."
