You can expect the Ambassador Bridge gang to pull every political lever they have to try to prevent this. windsorstar.com/news/local-new…

@56peggy @PierrePoilievre I think he just lacks your naturally sunny personality, Peggy.

@PerrinBeatty @PierrePoilievre Only took 20 years. Part of the new Reformacon strategy. I'm not buying it. Adolescent, perpetually aggrieved and unlikeable. #NeverPoilievre

Excellent presentation today by @PierrePoilievre. No name-calling, meanness or shallow sloganeering. Instead, a positive, constructive vision of how Canada can be more sovereign and prosperous. You can disagree with specific proposals, but the speech was substantive and positive.

Just when you think the standard of morality has hit rock bottom, they find a way to take it to a new low.

Perrin Beatty "(Trump's) s been planning since then about what sort of a tariff regime can he put in place to replace this if and when he lost the case in the Supreme Court." "...But the second thing that we can't get away from is that certainly for my lifetime, the single most important relationship that Canada is going to have, whether in diplomacy or insecurity or in trade, is with the United States." @PerrinBeatty @CdnChamberofCom

Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is one club Canada can definitely afford not to belong to.

ICYMI: It’s good news that U.S. members of congress are speaking out against their country’s tariffs on Canada, but the trade relationship will get worse before getting better, says @PerrinBeatty. “We're going into the hashtag#CUSMA negotiations. We can expect an attempt to negotiate by intimidation,” Beatty, a former cabinet minister and former CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, told Means & Ways. “We also have a potential referendum coming up in Alberta, and we're already seeing signs of Trump administration interference in domestic Canadian affairs. We can expect that to step up as well. But if we look at it over a longer time span, I believe that Canada can come out of this stronger and more sovereign and more prosperous.” Read the full story here: meansandways.ca/news-articles/… #CanUs #cdntrade #cdnpoli #cdnecon #WhereBusinessMeetsPolitics

Fact filled take on the Gordie Howe Bridge from the conservative Republican former Michigan Governor who negotiated the bridge deal. As he points out, even though Canada paid for 100% of the bridge, Michigan owns half of it. As he says, "To my friends in Canada, thank you for financing the GHIB and for many other areas of friendship. Canada has been a stalwart partner on this massive project through multiple governments on both sides of the Detroit River. It is a big win-win for all of us." detroitnews.com/story/opinion/…

Another Trump meltdown about Canada after the House of Representatives votes against his “fentanyl” tariffs. As the lower post shows, he uses tariffs to intimidate other countries into “agreeing to our strongest wishes.”

A majority of the House of Representatives understands the damage caused by the invented fentanyl-from-Canada-crisis tariffs. Unfortunately, for Trump this was never really about drugs or the truth. nytimes.com/2026/02/11/us/…

Bridge Owner Lobbied Administration Before Trump Blasted Competing Span to Canada nytimes.com/2026/02/10/wor…

The Gordie Howe Bridge is an incredibly important infrastructure project for Michigan. President Trump's threat tonight to tank it is awful for our state's economy. Canceling this project will have serious repercussions. Higher costs for Michigan businesses, less secure supply chains, and ultimately, fewer jobs. With this threat, the President is punishing Michiganders for a trade war he started. The only reason Canada is on the verge of a trade deal with China is because President Trump has kicked them in the teeth for a year. The President's agenda for personal retribution should not come before what's best for us. Canada is our friend -- not our enemy. And I will do everything in my power to get this critical project back on track.

This statement from the President is completely backwards. Michigan’s economy is highly integrated with Canada and the Detroit-Windsor corridor is one of the busiest border crossings for trade in our entire country. We’ve wanted this bridge for years because it will be a boon for our economy. This is another case of the President undermining Michigan businesses and workers.

“Canada is more than a neighbor; it is critical to our economic future. There is no greater example of that than the international bridge.” That’s how Sandy Baruah, President and CEO of the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce views both Canada and the Gordie Howe Bridge.

Trump last week: “Tell the Canadians I love them.” While the benefits of its construction and operation will be shared between our two countries, financing the bridge has been largely borne by Canada. Imagine if he didn’t love us! ctvnews.ca/politics/artic…
