Two billionaire brothers who have become heroes to America's libertarian movement and bogeymen to America's left are backing an effort to prevent a new border crossing between Canada and the U.S.
Charles and David Koch (pronounced "coke"), owners of Koch Industries, the U.S.'s second-largest privately held company, have thrown their backing behind a sometimes-dirty campaign to prevent the construction of a new bridge crossing between Windsor and Detroit, Bloomberg News reports.
That places the energy industry magnates seemingly in opposition to the government in Ottawa, which has been lobbying hard to get Michigan to build a new bridge in Detroit. Canada has even offered cash-strapped Michigan $550 million to move forward with the long-stalled project.
