Description
Prime Minister Mark Carney has reached a new agreement with the United States that clears the way for the long-awaited opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge on July 27.
The revised agreement includes a provision under which the United States will receive 50% of the bridge's profits for 15 years. However, Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens argues that the practical financial impact on Canada could be limited because toll revenues are expected to first recover the bridge's construction costs before meaningful profits are available to share.
In this video, we break down the agreement, examine what it means for Canada–U.S. relations, explore why the Gordie Howe Bridge is so important for trade and manufacturing, and look at why this deal has become one of the biggest political stories in Canada.
Is this a strategic negotiation that achieves Canada's main objective of opening the bridge, or did Ottawa concede too much?
