You do realize that the Ambassador was privately financed and developed when it was built way back in the 20's, right? It's not as if it recently fell into private hands.
The fight for this current private bridge expansion is stacking up eeriely to the fight waged back then. The difference, this time, is that I think the public is going to win. In the last go-around, the bridge financier and developer had lined up all of the local, state/provincial, and national governments save for the mayor of Detroit, who faught in tooth-and-nail, and lost. This go-around, the only support he may be able to garner is that of the Detroit mayor. lol
BTW, just so it's made clear, the Detroit-Windsor tunnel is publically owned and is car-only. The Ambassador, while anyone can cross it, makes most of its money off of international truck traffic.
