The Gordie Howe International Bridge is finally opening later this month, and that's a big win for trade between Canada and the U.S. But there's one part of the story that isn't getting much attention. Back in 2012, Canada agreed to fund the entire $6.4B project in exchange for collecting 100% of the toll revenue until the cost was recovered. Now that agreement has changed. Canada still covers the full cost of the bridge, but the toll revenue will be split 50/50 with a Michigan economic development agency until the bridge is paid off. So here's the question... Was this the best deal Canada could have negotiated? And with tariff talks and a new trade agreement still on the table, does this make you more or less confident in where things are heading? We’re curious to hear where everyone stands on this one. Drop your thoughts below. 👇 #Canada #CanadianEconomy #Trade #Tariffs #CanadaEconomy
