A planned joint U.S.-Canada ceremony Friday celebrating the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, is no longer expected to take place after President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on most Canadian goods.
In announcing the tariffs, Trump accused Canada of unfairly discriminating against U.S. automobiles, alcohol and dairy products, escalating tensions with one of the United States’ closest allies.
“In light of trade action threatened by the United States earlier this week, it would be inappropriate to proceed with a celebratory event between the two countries,” said Jenna Ghassabeh, a spokesperson for Canadian Infrastructure Minister Gregor Robertson, in an emailed statement.
The move came after U.S. and Canadian officials reached an agreement earlier this month to open the Gordie Howe International Bridge following delays tied to disagreements between the two countries.
Canada now plans to hold its own ceremony Friday. It is now unclear whether the United States will hold a separate ceremony.
Two U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations said they still expect the bridge to open to traffic July 27 but are less certain than they were before.
“We remain committed to opening the bridge on July 27th, and to celebrating this milestone among Canadians on July 24th,” said Ghassabeh.

That not really elected Carney Barker is a real piece of work....
Canada, under CarneyPeople, is NOT one of ‘our closest allies’, Ass Press.
Welp, Renee to have a smokin good time and toast some weenies over the wild fires.
Canada has lost what made it a great country.
Joint event?
What is the Carney Barker smoking?
Sounds petty.
Loss of trade both ways.
Oh Canada
The globalists are trying to isolate the US to try and bring it to heel.
Ha ha! Guess Canuckistanis will have to swim across The Great Lakes to get here.
Only the Detroit River, unless they drive through the Ambassador Bridge or use the tunnel.

Tunnel. The only international underwater auto tunnel in the world. One for vehicles and another for railroad trains.

They sure love their socialism. Of course it’s so inefficient and cost so much they can’t compete on an even field but it does keep their people trapped in cycles of dependance so the elites never lose their grip on power.
The RR tunnel is still functioning?
FU eh Canadduh
Stupid tariffs, leads to stupid stuff.
Play stupid games.....
Somebody skated in offsides...
