Summary
The Gordie Howe International Bridge finally has an opening date, but Canada had to accept less favourable terms to get it there — including giving up half of toll revenue for 15 years and getting U.S. approval for some future toll changes — raising bigger questions about how durable cross-border deals really are. Plus, more Canadians are turning to home exchange platforms to cut vacation costs, as memberships jump and travellers look for alternatives to pricier hotels and short-term rentals. And in The Big Picture: Alberta opens its online gambling market to private sportsbooks and casinos, Toronto reels from a deadly shooting at the Salsa on St. Clair festival, and the Seattle Seahawks sell for a record US$9.6 billion.
