In the midst of historic turbulence, even the unbreakable alliance between America and Canada is being overturned.

Reflecting on my upbringing on one side of the border, I delve into this unsettling new reality alongside a close companion raised on the American side of the Detroit River in "We Cross the Ambassador Bridge."

Drawing inspiration from the resilience and skill of the region’s sports legends Gordie Howe ("Mr. Elbows" and/or "Mr. Hockey") and Joe Louis ("The Brown Bomber"), we navigate this uncharted territory in our conversation with hope and determination.
