Summary
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is slamming Prime Minister Mark Carney over what he calls contradictory statements about toll revenue from the new Gordie Howe International Bridge, accusing him of muddying the waters on a deal that could cost Canada dearly. Poilievre insists Canada paid the full $6.4 billion, with the understanding all tolls would return to Canada until the debt is repaid. While Carney says revenue sharing won’t kick in until Canada is fully repaid and expects modest net earnings, his own words have sparked confusion and criticism from within his own party — even as the bridge prepares to open July 27. The controversy also echoes past U.S. pressure, where former President Trump demanded half ownership and threatened to block the bridge unless America was “fully compensated,” later claiming he secured a “MUCH BETTER DEAL.” Poilievre is now demanding full transparency on the revenue-sharing agreement, warning Canadians that the lack of clarity could signal an unfair deal.
