Canadian Prime Minister Carney to shooting victims: ‘All of Canada stands with you’
Dilkens said construction of the Gordie Howe bridge is the culmination of a 25-year process that has involved presidents, prime ministers and governors.
He acknowledged it will take many years for Canada to recoup the billions it paid for the bridge, but after that, proceeds from tolls will be split with Michigan. Meantime, he rattled off the economic argument that led to the bridge’s construction in the first place, linking the US auto industry to Canadian parts manufacturers.Dilkens said he hopes the US and Canada can come to a larger agreement to improve the USMCA to mutual benefit later this year, but he also said he hopes Americans see the chaos to world trade being caused by current US tariff policy.
Trade deals, he said, “have served to the benefit of putting a lot of bread on the table of US families as well as Canadian families.”
