Trailer trucks head towards the New York side of the Peace Bridge which spans the Niagra River on April 26, 1999. The Peace Bridge has been the infrastructural equivalent of a warm handshake between Canada and the United States. Howver the bridge, built in 1927, is past its prime. The clash over its replacement has become a political football with Canadian officials accusing the Americans of arrogance, and American officials dismissing the Canadians as parochial.Chang W.
