Canada goes solo on Gordie Howe bridge opening amid tariff, toll disputes

Canada cancelled a joint ribbon-cutting for the $4.7-billion Gordie Howe International Bridge, holding a Canada-only event before the Windsor–Detroit crossing opens July 27. The decision follows a toll-sharing dispute and U.S. President Trump's threat of 50-per-cent tariffs. Canada financed the entire bridge; how its toll revenue is governed remains contested.
