Episode Details

The Gordie Howe Bridge is open — but the political drama isn’t over. Liberals shut down a parliamentary committee’s probe into the revenue-sharing deal, calling it a “good news story” and refusing to dive into the details. Conservatives pushed for full transparency, demanding ministers testify and dropping all drafts — even calling for the parliamentary budget officer to audit the numbers — but were blocked by the Liberal majority. The deal’s financial terms are now murky: the PM initially said profits would be split after costs and debt, but the new agreement appears to divide profits from day one, minus only operating costs — with no mention of debt. Adding fuel to the fire, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre made a surprise appearance at the committee, and MPs are questioning the PM’s bizarre cowboy hat comment. While Liberals tout the bridge as a national win, opposition parties and even some NDP and Bloc MPs argue Canadians deserve full clarity on how this billion-dollar project’s money is being managed.
