They are... around 2023 they are going to take it down to build a new one.

So the drunk metalworkers indians can get paid and work so they don't complain.
Not entirely accurate statement but close enough

That bridge is a joke, honestly I dont understand why it wasn't replaced 20 years ago, whether someone can make money or not...

There has to be some link.
There are agreements to have them work... A new bridge would not be possible with a private firm like the Champlain bridge.
Blow it out and build one outside of the reserve.

Issue with that is you need to either run the approach futher to the east and through LaSalle to link up with the 730 or dig a tunnel. Backlash would be HUGE

Cross the waterway before the reserve then cross the river to reach the same spot on the island.

You forgot your sense of humor somewhere? Come on.
In all seriousness in the past the metalworkers even American ones working on high rises in NYC were often drinking to alleviate the dear of height
Just relax it's a joke.

Mohawks seems to have very little in common with the other natives, especially the ones up north. Dependency on drugs and alcohol isn't on the same level.
They are actually outsmarting the whites using their ''privileges'' and the fact that the bridge is built there certainly has an impact when contracting repairs for it.
If you don't believe they actually have privileges, just cruise down there and count the brand new escalades.
I don't know on how the reserves borders were decided, but there is more than one bridge built on a mohawk reserve... So for me it's an other case of the natives outsmarting the whites right there.

Said agreements:
''
MONTRÉAL, Aug. 1, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - The Québec Minister of Transport, François Bonnardel, the Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Solidarity, Jean Boulet, and the Minister Responsible for Indigenous Affairs, Sylvie D'Amours, confirm the commitment of the Québec Government to prioritize Mohawk workers, regardless of the contractor chosen, for the maintenance work on the provincial portion of the Honoré-Mercier bridge, as well as for its reconstruction project actually registered for planning in the 2019-2029 Québec Infrastructure Plan.
Québec is also re-confirming its recognition of Kahnawà:ke's authority, exercised by its Labor Office, to qualify Kahnawà:ke workers and contractors for these works, as stated in the Labor Agreement in force. This Agreement establishes the Kahnawà:ke Labor Regime governing construction, compensation for industrial accidents and occupational diseases, and occupational health and safety on the Territory.''
