The bridge agreement “…will see Canada repay its debt, but only after net revenue is split with the United States over the first 15 years, a senior government source confirmed…” Cdn taxpayers paid for the bridge. They have a right to know the details. thestar.com/business/gordi…

@nspector4 I’m not sure how asking the government to give Canadians the unvarnished facts about the deal amounts to “carrying water” for the PM, Norman. It sounds like simple good policy to me.

Before the war, South Korea had relied on Iraq’s Basrah Heavy for most of its dense, high-sulfur crude. Since the conflict started, that supply has been largely replaced by Canadian Cold Lake crude Korea’s Thirst for Canadian Cruse Poised to Outlast Iran War bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Canada has acted honourably on the Gordie Howe Bridge since the start. Unfortunately, most of what we know about the new deal the government has struck has come from leaks or from US spinmeisters. My strong advice to our government is to give Canadians the unvarnished facts.

The USA struck a great deal with respect to the Gordie Howe Bridge. Before this deal we got NOTHING. Now, the U.S. gets 50% of net revenues until 2041 and a say in setting the tolls. Our share is before interest and principal. This is the Art of the Deal in action.

A sincere happy 250th birthday to our American friends and neighbours! Whatever the strains between governments, we remembers JFK’s words: "Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies." 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Trump’s refusal leaves CUSMA in limbo - still there, but ignored or circumvented. His goal is unilateral concessions from Canada. Our reply should be a modified version of JFK’s pledge: Let us never fear to negotiate. But let us never negotiate from fear. theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

Britain is wrestling with major social spending cuts to pay for increased defence spending. Canada is also facing a spending crunch. The government needs to level with Canadians about what has to go. apple.news/AnpbFlyJwSw2ni…
