🚨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.

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

Gray: Currently, toll money will flow to Michigan after Canada is made whole for the $6.4 billion they've put up to build the bridge. But Hoekstra wants more money sooner.

Reporter: The President threatened to block the new Gordie Howe Bridge, which would connect Detroit to Canada. This is a bridge that was fully paid for by Canada. It used American labor to construct it. It used American steel to construct that bridge. The president in 2017 was actually in favor of this bridge. Why has the president changed his mind as it relates to this bridge? Leavitt: The fact that Canada will control what crosses the Gordie Howe Bridge and owns the land on both sides is unacceptable to the president. It's also unacceptable that more of this bridge isn't being built with more American made materials. The US should own half of the bridge.

BREAKING: Greg Robertson, the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure, just shared devastating news: most of us won’t be alive to see Canada get paid back on the $6.4 billion that it cost to build the Gordie Howe bridge. He said “we anticipate being paid back in over 50 years.” He also would not state how much the US would get paid over a 15 year period. They’re worried about that number getting out. Because it will be devastating. We gave up half of net revenues & got nothing in return.

It was supposed to epitomize cooperation and friendship but the Gordie Howe Bridge has turned into a symbol of the Canada-US trade war, that not even a Canada only ribbon cutting with road hockey, the Howe family and Tim Horton’s coffee could overcome #cdnpoli

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...

🚨AGREEMENT RELEASED🚨 The Gordie Howe Bridge agreement directly contradicts Mark Carney and Liberal claims that Canada’s bridge debt would be repaid before the U.S. received anything. The document says 50% of net revenues go to the U.S. for the first 15 years. They lied.

"The debate over who ultimately pays for the Gordie Howe International Bridge misses the point. The real question is: which country assumed the financial and construction risk? That was Canada. Regardless of how revenues are eventually allocated, Canada took on the risk to get the project built. At the very least, the U.S. Ambassador should acknowledge that."

Prime Minister Mark Carney says that he spoke with Donald Trump yesterday regarding the Gordie Howe bridge: "I explained that Canada paid for the construction of the bridge, over $4 billion. That the ownership is shared between the state of Michigan and the Government of Canada." "It was a positive conversation, it's big game today and we're going to win."

The outrage over the Gordie Howe Bridge deal is built on a deliberate lie. Conservative critics are conflating gross revenue with net profit to manufacture outrage—while ignoring who put Canada on the hook for 100% of the financial risk in 2012. We debunk the disinfo

So Carney is basically a walking contradiction. Trump just said that the original bridge deal no longer stands. His statement is below. Canada disinvited the United States of America to the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, which is fine, considering they are paying substantial TARIFFS to the United States,” “The original Deal on the Bridge, which was terribly negotiated by a previous Administration, no longer stands. We changed the terms of the Deal so that the United States of America now gets 50% of the Profit.” Canada will also see very little net revenue from the bridge for the foreseeable future. Elbows up baby!

The Americans were removed from the opening ceremony of a bridge built to connect Canada and America. They were replaced with multiple land acknowledgements, thanks to the ancestors and an Indian song. The Gordie Howe International Bridge opening ceremony is officially complete. Modern Canada perfectly summarized in one ceremony.

Ontario Premiere Doug Ford says Trump administration officials “need to get their facts straight” after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt sought defend President Trump’s threats to block the Gordie Howe International Bridge from opening. "The fact that Canada will control what crosses the Gordie Howe Bridge and owns the land on both sides is unacceptable to the president," Leavitt said. “The agreement is that they’re going to own 50% of the bridge. And Canadians paid for it. So, as a business person myself, I think that's a pretty good deal,” Ford tells CBS News’ Ed O'Keefe on “the Takeout.”
