The US President is holding the newly completed Gordie Howe bridge between Windsor and Detroit hostage to help his billionaire buddies, using the excuse of unfair US-Canada trade practices. The bridge has been described as âthey key to the US and Canadian economiesâ as the busiest border crossing for trade transport. It seems like Prime Minister Mark Carneyâs CUSMA negotiating team is preparing to use it as leverage, if necessary.
In this news update, Bill breaks down the facts behind the Gordie Howe bridge deal, and examines what this conflict could mean for US-Canada relations, international trade, and the broader landscape of Canadian politics. Letâs talk about it!
