But all is not lost - our whacky ON & Fed govt's have a great solution

"The engineering company that was hired to do this is based out of Spain, so do they have the experience and knowledge to design a bridge in the cold weather we have in Canada that they don't have in southern Europe?"

There is no lack of civil engineering firms and contractors IN Canada who could do the job and do it better.

So what's going on then? Is the steel in those cables shrinking that much? Because I'd be worried about metal fatigue and those cables snapping long before their expected life span has been reached.

It's hard to pinpoint what it was with any degree of certainty without viewing the wreckage. I have my suspicions though.
