Carney’s own words, side by side. “My government will keep our tariffs on until the Americans show us respect.” Then: Canada removes its tariffs first. “We can handle him.” Then: caves on the digital services tax. “We have the best deal… and we will get an even better one.”...

The US will receive money collected from the Gordie Howe Bridge, prior to Canada recouping the full $6.4 billion it paid to build it, two senior government sources have told Global News. This is despite Mark Carney saying the US would get what was "left over" after Canada serviced debt on the bridge, which the Americans contributed $0 to. The two sources told Global News, the new 15 year agreement stipulates Canada will get 100% of the revenue from the bridge, cash that will be used to pay for things like snow removal and other maintenance costs but not for debt servicing. The money left over, will be split 50/50 with the Americans, who have agreed to put their cut, into an American controlled regional economic development fund. The original deal signed in 2012, said that Canada was to receive 100% of the money from the bridge, until they were made whole for fronting the entire cost of the crossing, a timeline that was estimated to stretch over 50+ years. Once the 15 year side deal is completed the Liberals say the original financial terms come back into force but they have not released the text of what they say is an "agreement in principle" to back up any claims up. On Thursday, Carney said that Canada is "not splitting the tolls of the bridge. It is an agreement for 15 years to split net revenues. Splitting of tolls, any sharing of the toll, won’t happen until all of the debt is repaid." While Carney is correct in saying Canada is not splitting tolls, the overwhelming major of the revenue from the Gordie Howe Bridge, comes from the tolls it collects, revenue Canada is set to share with the US. Both sources indicated it's expected bridge expenses will exceed revenue for at least the first six years, meaning neither side would get money during that period, but that timeline could fluctuate based on the amount of traffic on the bridge #cdnpoli

🚨 Carney just spent two minutes trying to explain why what he said on July 12 isn’t what the actual deal says. He told Canadians the U.S. only gets a cut after our $6.4 billion debt is paid off. The document says the opposite: 50% of net revenues (after operating costs only) goes to a U.S.-controlled fund for the first 15 years. No debt repayment first. When called out, his defence was: “Could I have explained it better on a Sunday morning at Stampede? With a cowboy hat on? Yes.” That’s not a clarification. That’s an admission. Canadians fronted the entire cost of this bridge. The least we deserved was the truth the first time — not a cleanup interview after the agreement got released. Priorities matter. Getting the deal straight for the people who paid for it should come before the photo-ops and the hat. A lie of omission is still a lie. #cdnpoli #CarneyFail #CanadaFirst #GordieHowe

Trump says the deal is done. Subject to documents. Carney says “substantial progress.” Still no text. So here’s the scoreboard so far. Canada paid $6.4 billion to build the Gordie Howe Bridge. Then handed the U.S. half the net revenue for 15 years after Trump threatened to block it. Canada rescinded the digital services tax to restart talks. $647 million collected. Then refunded. The July 2025 deadline still came and went. Canada rolled back most of its retaliatory tariffs. Now Trump says U.S. farmers’ tariffs into Canada go to zero. “They gave us the points that we had to have.” And Canadians still don’t get to read the terms. LeBlanc swears supply management is intact. Trump swears his farmers are thrilled. Those two statements don’t both stay true forever. This is the guy who ran as the only one who could take Trump on. A year later it’s still the same pattern. Canada gives first. Ottawa explains later. If at all. A three-day pause is not a win. It’s another invoice we haven’t been shown. Show the documents. Then tell us who actually won. #cdnpoli #CanadaFirst

She thinks Ottawa is playing chess with Trump. 🤔 Watch it again. Carney walked away from the table and sold it as standing up for Canada. That is the line. The result is the opposite. The backlash lands on the two provinces that actually make things. Ontario. Quebec. Auto. Steel. Aerospace. Parts plants. That is not theory. That is where the paycheques are. Then he piled on a second hit. Dollar-for-dollar Carney tariffs. Those start tomorrow. Trump’s levy hits our exports. Carney’s levy hits our aisles. Electronics. Appliances. Food that crosses the border. The stuff families actually buy. He even said some of this would raise costs and shrink choice. Then he did it anyway. This is the guy who ran as the only adult who could close a deal by July 2025. Eighteen months of cowboy hats, photo ops, and Italy. Then he pulls the plug and calls it strength. Howard Lutnick said Canada walked for political purposes. Ottawa denied it. Then the by-elections happened and the Trump-as-villain machine worked again. That is not a trade strategy. That is a campaign. You do not protect workers by lighting their cost of living on fire so a banker can look tough on TV. Ontario and Quebec will feel this first. The rest of the country is next. #cdnpoli #CanadaFirst

Mark Carney sold himself as the master negotiator who was going to handle Trump, attract big investment, and get things built at “unimaginable speeds.” Here’s what actually happened: The UAE showed up with **$70 billion** ready to invest in Canada and create jobs. Carney’s own Major Projects Office turned them away. No shovel-ready projects. Just more bureaucracy and excuses. Then he went and gave away half the toll revenue on the Gordie Howe Bridge — a bridge **Canadians paid $6.4 billion** to build. The original deal was Canada keeps the money until we’re made whole. Carney caved and handed the Americans 50% plus veto power on tolls. This is the same guy who stood on stage with hard hats behind him promising he was the only one who could deliver. He’s not delivering. He’s blocking investment and giving away Canadian assets. This is what “Canada Strong” looks like under Mark Carney. #cdnpoli #CarneyFail #GordieHoweBridge #UAE #CanadaFirst

Carney on the Gordie Howe Bridge "We need it because we're expanding, we're still expanding trade." "So look it's a good deal for Canada and what's really good is getting the bridge done on on on on time on budget and to and to build up together." But it wasn't done on budget and that was one of the sticking points Bloomberg "According to a senior government source, Canada will get 50 per cent of the bridge’s toll profits in the first 15 years, with the other 50 per cent going into that economic development fund announced on Friday. But who runs that fund has yet to be determined." Canada was supposed to get the revenue until the bridge was paid off... Carney getting shaken down on a bridge is getting a "good deal"? Would hate to see what his "even better deal" on CUSMA will look like The absolute BS that flies out of his mouth that the media just accepts and repeats...

Waiting for the Liberal Whip Mark Gerretsen 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 to apologize and correct his statements about Pierre Poilievre re Gordie Howe Bridge deal. In his video, Gerretsen declared: “The new agreement doesn’t split revenue. It splits profits.” He accused anyone saying otherwise of misleading the public. Now the Toronto Star reports that a senior government source has confirmed the opposite: operating costs are paid first, then the remaining net revenue is split 50/50 with the United States for 15 years. Canada uses only its half to begin recovering the $6.4 billion Canadians paid to build the bridge. Separate reporting confirms the agreement does not protect Canada’s debt-servicing costs before that split. Gerretsen said revenue was not being split. Net revenue is exactly what is being split. The Americans contributed $0 to construction, yet they get half the operating surplus before Canada recovers its investment. This was not a harmless accounting mistake. Gerretsen made a video accusing others of dishonesty while repeating the same false explanation used by the Prime Minister. Delete the video. Apologize to Canadians. Release the agreement.

Andrew Scheer just laid it out cold. The previous deal: Canada kept 100% of the Gordie Howe Bridge tolls until construction costs were repaid. Mark Carney’s deal: 50% of those revenues now go to the United States — including a special fund for economic development in Michigan. Canadian taxpayers paid for the bridge. American interests get half the money. And Carney tried to hide it. When asked if he misled Canadians, his answer was he “could have done a better job explaining.” That’s Liberal for “I got caught.” This is the same guy who claimed he was the only one who could deliver wins against Trump. Instead we got concessions, a hidden deal, and a prime minister more focused on cowboy hats, pancake flips, and a vacation in Italy than the actual job. $150k meals on his flights. Blocked itineraries. Brookfield connections. Country burning. Economy sliding. Over a year in power and nothing has gotten better. Just more illusions and more money leaving the country. #cdnpoli #LiberalFail #CanadaFirst

Our Prime Minister lied to all Canadians about the Gordie Howe Bridge. So did his Finance Minister. So did his Chief Whip, Mark Gerretsen. All three told Canadians the same story: the $6.4 billion debt would be paid off first. Then the US would get 50% of what was left over. That was a lie. The agreement, published on Canada’s own bridge authority website, says the US gets 50% of gross revenue minus operating costs only. Debt is not deducted. Interest is not deducted. Principal is not deducted. Canada absorbs roughly $500 million per year in debt service and depreciation. The US takes 50% of the revenue anyway. The only reason Canadians know is because the US government exposed the lie publicly. Three senior Liberals told Canadians the same false story. The Americans corrected the record. Not the Canadian Prime Minister. Not the Canadian Minister of Finance. Not the Canadian Chief Whip. The Americans. That is the country we live in now.

No one did the math on Mark Carney’s lie. So I did some high level numbers. This is the difference between net revenue & net profit: Canada financed the entire $6.4 billion Gordie Howe Bridge. Michigan paid zero. Under the 2012 signed treaty, Canada kept 100% of the tolls until repaid. Under Carney’s new deal, published on Canada’s own bridge authority website, the US takes 50% of net revenue for 15 years. “Net revenue” excludes Canada’s $6.4 billion debt, interest, principal, and depreciation. That’s roughly $500 million per year Canada absorbs alone, while the US collects 50% of the revenue anyway. This deal is so much worse than you can imagine.

Poilievre says Trudeau is not going far enough with retaliatory tariffs against America. "We need to keep the counter tariffs in place until the President removes all tariffs forever for Canadians. We can't have half measures. We have to send a clear message to President Trump that if he wants a fight then we will fight back." He then goes on to present Trump with an ultimatum. No wonder the President of the United States doesn't like him.

Canada paid the full $6.4 billion to build the Gordie Howe Bridge. Now 50% of the toll profits are going to a U.S. development fund for the first 15 years. This is the “win” Mark Carney delivered. He stood there telling Canadians he was the tough negotiator who could handle Trump and protect our interests. Instead, we got fleeced on infrastructure we completely funded while the money flows south. Even the panel on Power & Politics called it what it is — a straight concession. Not much benefit for Windsor, massive benefit for the American side. This is what happens when you put a globalist banker in charge of negotiating for Canada. The same guy who was supposed to be our secret weapon is racking up losses while pretending it’s a victory. How much longer are we supposed to pretend this is working?

Only TWO countries in the entire world decided to retaliate against the United States. China... and Canada. While the rest of the planet is negotiating, dropping tariffs, and trying to make deals with Trump, Carney’s Canada chose to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Beijing. Now the “European” Prime Minister is actively pushing us into the EU and deeper alignment with China. This isn’t an accident. This isn’t “standing up for Canada.” This is deliberate isolation from our largest trading partner — the country that buys over 80% of our exports. Watch this clip. Then ask yourself why our Prime Minister is so comfortable being in the same retaliatory camp as Communist China. The Carney Show has to end. Drop a 🐍 if you see exactly what’s happening. #cdnpoli #MarkCarney #LiberalFail #CanadaFirst #USCanadaRelations

Ted Cruz just said it on U.S. TV. Two camps in Washington. One wants tariffs as leverage to open trade. One wants tariffs forever. Cruz is camp one. More trade. Not less. Then he looked at Mark Carney beating his chest and called it performative. That’s the word. Performative. The guy who sold himself as the only man who could handle Trump is doing television toughness while the file is still open. Cruz’s point is simple. The threat works when the other side shows up and opens the market. Chest-beating on Canadian TV is not a strategy. It’s a show. Our economy lives on that border. We need a deal. Not a performance. #cdnpoli #CanadaFirst

The Gordie Howe Bridge Was a Giant Mistake The state could have just allowed the expansion of the Ambassador Bridge at no cost to taxpayers, but that would’ve been too simple By Charlie LeDuff (Charlie LeDuff) Detroit — Someone suddenly flipped on the lights at the still unfinished Gordie Howe International Bridge last week, and the town went berserk! And why not? We’ve been kept in the dark about almost everything else on the multi-billion-dollar boondoggle. The bridge is a joint-venture between the state of Michigan and the Canadian government. Canada fronted all the money to build it and will collect all the tolls until it recoups its investment. Only then will Michigan share in the proceeds. When the deal was first announced back in 2012, the estimated cost was $2 billion. Then it was $4 billion. Then it was $4.8 billion. Then it was $5.7 billion. It was supposed to be completed last year at a cost of $6.4 billion. It’s still not done, and the smart money puts the final costs north of $7 billion. (This does not include the unspecified millions the U.S. will shell out for customs and border inspections each year.) Traffic across the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel has fallen by nearly 60% since the year 2000 as auto manufacturing has shifted to the Southern U.S. and Mexico. At that rate, according to an independent study from 2018, the Gordie Howe Bridge will never pay for itself. Never. That means Canada’s grandchildren will get all the debt, and Michigan’s grandchildren will get all the smog. Oh, Canada! To date, no one has clearly explained how the bidding process worked. How could a consortium of companies win the design, construction, and maintenance contracts when it includes a Spanish firm that has paid more than $100 million in fines for fraud and bid-rigging? Canada is our neighbor. Spain isn’t. Doesn’t that present a security risk? And where did the steel for the bridge come from? Was it made in the U.S.? Canada? China? A mix of Canada and China? Again, we haven’t been told. Isn’t that what the tariff war is all about? And how did Justin Trudeau’s infrastructure minister get his job overseeing construction of the 1.5-mile, six-lane span across the Detroit River? The man—a former bus driver—had no college degree, no construction experience, and spent nearly two years in an Indian prison for suspected ties to terrorism. Why wasn’t the Moroun family, who owns the Ambassador Bridge, allowed to build a new span with private money as they had offered? Taxpayers wouldn’t have paid a nickel. Americans would have had jobs. It’s all so absolutely Michigan. When will government learn to get out of the way? Whitmer tried throwing billions at multinational corporations, and all we got were parking lots. The bright side here? At least we get some tasteful LED lighting twinkling on the Detroit River.

Traffic across the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel has fallen by nearly 60% since the year 2000 as auto manufacturing has shifted to the Southern U.S. and Mexico. At that rate, according to an independent study from 2018, the Gordie Howe Bridge will never pay for itself. Never. That means Canada’s grandchildren will get all the debt, and Michigan’s grandchildren will get all the smog. Oh, Canada! To date, no one has clearly explained how the bidding process worked. How could a consortium of companies win the design, construction, and maintenance contracts when it includes a Spanish firm that has paid more than $100 million in fines for fraud and bid-rigging? Canada is our neighbor. Spain isn’t. Doesn’t that present a security risk? And where did the steel for the bridge come from? Was it made in the U.S.? Canada? China? A mix of Canada and China? Again, we haven’t been told. Isn’t that what the tariff war is all about? And how did Justin Trudeau’s infrastructure minister get his job overseeing construction of the 1.5-mile, six-lane span across the Detroit River? The man—a former bus driver—had no college degree, no construction experience, and spent nearly two years in an Indian prison for suspected ties to terrorism. Why wasn’t the Moroun family, who owns the Ambassador Bridge, allowed to build a new span with private money as they had offered? Taxpayers wouldn’t have paid a nickel. Americans would have had jobs. It’s all so absolutely Michigan. When will government learn to get out of the way? Whitmer tried throwing billions at multinational corporations, and all we got were parking lots. The bright side here? At least we get some tasteful LED lighting twinkling on the Detroit River.

If no deal is better than 50% tariffs and 10’s of thousands of people losing their jobs, I think we deserve more than our Government saying “trust us bro” when we ask why they did it. We need to see this deal. But we won’t, instead what we will see this week is Carney & the Premier’s with the usual - “team canada” “we are united against Trump” “we can be our own best customers” and “Canada strong” talking points while they drop a trillion of our tax dollars to keep Canadian industries alive.

🚨What exactly did Canada get in return? After giving up major negotiating leverage, including 50% of the Gordie Howe Bridge net revenues, Canada is facing another round of tariff threats. To be clear, Canada will pay down debt incurred to build the bridge using money left over after sharing revenue with the U.S. Canada invested $6.4 billion to build the bridge, the US $0. Concessions are supposed to secure results. We need a strategy that puts Canadian workers and businesses first. #cdnpoli
