Canada opens Gordie Howe International Bridge, U.S. disinvited
Trump: “Canada disinvited the US to the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, which is fine, considering they are paying substantial TARIFFS, but the original Deal on the Bridge, which was terribly negotiated by a previous Administration, no longer stands. We changed terms so that the US now gets 50%”
Joel Klebanoff 🇨🇦418The Gordie Howe Bridge was 100% financed by Canada. Trump is a crook and thoroughly untrustworthy. Nobody should depend on the United States to act with integrity as long as he is president.
208this is false also not how contracts work
Bob Collins93How can we be this far into this regime and he still doesn't understand how tariffs work?
morey00073Canada paid for 100% of the bridge. Trump donor owns the competing toll bridge.
jdforprogressnetx.bsky.social58Canada paid 100% of construction costs, 50% of labor hired was from US, Canada was to get 100% of toll revenues until cost was recovered then split 50/50 with US. Trump demanded 50% of tolls right away as requirement to let completed bridge open. That is dishonest and reneging on a deal.
Comfortably Numb56I recognize them, they are definitely words.

Zoomer Antimillenarian44Carney needs to do his very best to pop the US stock market like a pimple before the election, rather than take even a small risk it lingers on just barely past then before the inevitable recession hits. There’s already a ton of stress on the system. It’s doable if he’s strategic about it.
Sorry Buddy18As I said before, the Americans successfully extorted us, now they're pissed that we weren't willing to clap like seals for our own extortion.
Raphael van Lierop 🇨🇦18A robber baron. The bridge was 100% paid for by Canada (it cost $6.4B+ to build). (Also, for the billionth time, Canadians don't pay the tariffs; US folks do.)
miss andry16I’m not trying to doom. It just feels like, every day, it’s more shit piled on a massive pile of steaming shit. Cronies everywhere, billionaires making way more when we’re all feeling a crunch, a country totally built on bullying and no one can do anything. People kidnapped off the streets by goons,
SpinningHugo9The "art of the deal" is not to renege on every deal you make. Nobody will make deals with you in future if you do that. Trump is doing terrible longterm damage to the US. Why would anyone deal with them again, save at arms' length?
❀°。Der Siebenschläfer *.ﾟ✿ ⋆4unfortunately, this seems to be confirmed that Canada has agreed to an agreement modification by which 50% of toll revenue goes to a United States-Canada Economic Development Fund established and controlled solely by the United States gordiehoweinternationalbridge.com/proposed-agr...
Depression But Sexy3Love how we're respected around the world like never before, but also, no one wants us at their party...

Werner Herzog's Bear3We have a tyrant thinking he can rule by decree, and this weekend the reporters who cover him, whom he insults, will join him for a fancy dinner. I don’t really think we’re living in a democracy right now, I just don’t.
Kids playing road hockey on the brand-new Gordie Howe International Bridge 🏒🇨🇦 Canada celebrated the opening the only way we know how with hockey on the deck of the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America. Built by Canadians, paid for by Canadians.🤝🇨🇦 🎥 Gray_Mackenzie on 𝕏 🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦
Selek cha’Silek 🇨🇦4That is so cool!!! And so Canadian!!
Lisa Craig - Proceed in working trot2So many Michiganders are just heartsick over how the parasites in Washington are behaving toward Canada. We appreciate you more every year you keep being Canada. Thanks for just being You. -Michiganders
Goof Monring1Nice they blocked off the space so no one had to yell, "CAR!"
Jo-Anne Martell 🇨🇦1What a great core memory they are building!
Chuck Bob1I just had to add a comment to emphasize how much I love this. ♥️
The Gordie Howe Bridge was 100% financed by Canada. Trump is a crook and thoroughly untrustworthy. Nobody should depend on the United States to act with integrity as long as he is president.
Beef Supreme 2.89206💯 Gordie Howe International Bridge was financed entirely by the Canadian government at a cost of roughly $4.4 billion to $6.4 billion (CAD 6.4 billion) and faced fierce opposition from the billionaire Moroun family, who privately own the competing Ambassador Bridge in the Detroit-Windsor corridor.
Trapped in a Suburban Hellhole9Nobody should depend on the US to act with integrity for a LONG time. We did elect this fucker twice. Once, the world can dismiss it as a mistake. Twice? As long as there is this MAGA/AMERICA FIRST bullshit in America, we are untrustworthy as a partner
Kasper Larsen5Why does this ring a bell?
Dee Mack4Believe me majority of Americans hate his cuts what he’s done to our country.
Skiddy4Trump tore up the agreement that got this bridge built. No country anywhere can trust any agreement made with the US under the Trump Regime. Even CUSMA is being tossed aside and Trump signed it. No deals are possible with this regime.

Gwenda14Nice to hear the worker's side of the construction. It's rare that we get that perspective. Pride of 2 countries now tainted by the madman in the Whitehouse. 💔
Douglas Ogg3Just for fun, and to spite Trump's stooge supporters, Carney should close off the Ambassador Bridge, stating (true) that it is being used to funnel illegal guns into Canada.
🍁 Christine 🍁1Carney will forever be the PM that let the US extort us for a share of the bridge we paid all the costs to build. He screwed over the state of Michigan too.

“In light of trade action threatened by the United States earlier this week, it would be inappropriate to proceed with a celebratory event between the two countries,” the office of Canada’s infrastructure minister said in a statement. I agree 100%. 🇨🇦 #Canada #TrumpsTariffs #Blues <Gift Article>

Canada; please,please ,PLEASE, forgive us for the orange buffoon
Bree 🌸4As a Canadian I can tell you that I have never seen Canada more united in spite of the fact that there are some who think separation is a good idea! Yesterday I watched as all the premiers and PM came together to stand united against that miserable pos 💩 Canada is moving on with new partners!!
Skimac223Felon47 is a constant embarrassment- Beautiful bridge Canada 🇨🇦
1st - CONs made the deal to PAY 100% of the bridge. 2nd - CA is working with a malignant narcissist who will criminally shake down anyone to line his own pockets. 3rd - If this deal (though not ideal) were not made, the bridge would remain closed, and we'd get NOTHING!! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Deb 🇨🇦12The problem Carney is having stems, as usual, from poor comms. His people are letting him down. I think he’s doing his best. I won’t pretend he’s perfect, because he has let us down sometimes on climate issues, but he’s dealing with mango Mussolini as well as he can.
🇨🇦AB.CAN🇨🇦10He did his best, what was least harm to us, didn’t give the US too much ‘glory’ over a side deal, got the bridge open. Agree his comms people need to be in better lockstep to avoid this stuff. Say it transparently and get right on it if feedback is negative/confused. Politician in training.
Randy 59 🇨🇦 🏳️🌈 🇪🇺🇺🇦9It’s ironic that after years of planning and work, we have a bridge that may need to be barricaded one day, metaphorically speaking.
Sue @ 1000 Islands 🇨🇦8Exactly the point, Page! …ty
LSAClassOf20006The deal with Michigan was supremely fair, especially since we were far less ready than Canada was to start, and at the time, you would have needed a pry bar to get any investment from what was then a GOP-controlled legislature here. We just didn't want the Marouns in our lives anymore either.
Ann. Who?5I’m leaning toward the possibility that the “proposal of agreement in principle” is a lollipop to make Trump think he’s made a deal to benefit himself (to make himself look good). It’s just a proposal. It’s not legally binding and both Canada and the US agree the 2012 contract is still in effect.
This morning in Windsor, Canada is having an all-Canadian ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Gordie Howe International Bridge (scheduled to open Monday). A joint binational celebration was canceled after Trump hit Canada w/ an additional 50% tariffs, saying Canada discriminates against American goods.
Shawn Micallef45Really such a bananas thing to have an international crossing opening and one side is absolutely not there. Real metaphor for where the relationship is right now.
ℳatt45Canada gifted the US a $6-billion infrastructure project that will support billions of dollars worth of trade for the American economy and the US isn't even holding a ribbon-cutting because their president got mad at smoke
