## Resource

Canada celebrated the grand opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a major new link between Detroit and Windsor, but the U.S. side remained silent as a joint ceremony was canceled amid ongoing trade tensions. While Detroit residents feel the moment was missed — a chance to honor shared pride and neighborly unity — the White House framed the absence as a win for America, citing renegotiated terms that now give the U.S. half the bridge’s profits. Despite the political noise, many locals still see the bridge as a triumph and hope for better relations, even offering quiet apologies to Canada for the current climate.
