Toll Money Split Sparks Political Fire | Calgary News

The Gordie Howe International Bridge opens July 27th, but a heated debate rages over how toll revenue will be split — with Canada footing the entire $6.4 billion bill. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is slamming PM Mark Carney for inconsistent statements, accusing him of confusing Canadians about whether Canada gets all tolls until paid back, or if “net revenues” will be shared after costs. The lack of transparency is sparking outrage, with MPs demanding full details. Meanwhile, former President Trump reignited tensions in February, suggesting the U.S. should own half the bridge and threatening to block its opening — just as the Ambassador Bridge’s owners made a major donation. With the bridge’s launch near, Canadians are demanding clarity on what Canada actually agreed to. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
