## Resource

The Gordie Howe International Bridge’s grand opening is derailed by political drama after Canada cancels a joint U.S. celebration following Trump’s 50% tariff on Canadian goods. Locals in Windsor, especially in the Sandwich neighborhood, have waited years for this economic lifeline, with businesses and community identity built around the cross-border connection. Frustration boils over — one brewery even released a drink called “Over It.” Despite the snub, Windsor’s mayor still plans to celebrate, as many Canadians just want to move past the tension and reconnect with their American neighbors. This moment underscores how even major infrastructure can become a pawn in international politics. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
