Bridge Deal Sparks Political Firestorm | Calgary News

A new revenue-sharing deal for the Gordie Howe International Bridge has sparked political chaos: for 15 years, Canada will funnel 50% of bridge profits to the U.S. in a fund controlled by Washington — a move triggered by Trump’s earlier blockade over perceived unfairness. Confusion reigns as officials contradict themselves, with one minister apologizing for muddled explanations — even joking it was his cowboy hat’s fault. Opposition MPs demand full transparency, including draft agreements and ministerial testimony, while Liberals defend the deal as pragmatic, enabling the bridge’s long-delayed opening. Despite the uproar, the minister insists the arrangement was necessary — but questions linger over Canada’s financial future and whether this deal truly serves its interests.
