Summary
Canada’s new Gordie Howe International Bridge, set to open July 27, is sparking heated debate as Prime Minister Mark Carney defends the deal — despite critics calling it a concession to Trump and demanding full transparency. Canada footed the entire $6.4 billion bill, but under the agreement, it gets first dibs on revenue to pay off debt, then splits the rest with Michigan for 15 years — with some funds funneled back to the U.S. to boost traffic. Trump claims he secured a “much better deal” for America, while political tensions rise over a controversial donation linked to the rival Ambassador Bridge. Despite last-minute drama and MP outrage, both Canadian and U.S. officials remain confident the bridge will deliver major economic gains for years to come.
