Canada opens the Gordie Howe International Bridge across the Detroit River on Monday, ending nearly a century of monopoly by the privately owned Ambassador Bridge for large commercial trucks. The opening is overshadowed by Trump's announcement of 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, prompting Canada to cancel a joint bilateral ceremony.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you move freight across the Detroit River, you just got a second exit. Ambassador Bridge's 100-year monopoly on truck traffic ends Monday; that's a new negotiating lever for any logistics company or shipper paying their tolls.
