Traffic is set to start flowing across a new bridge over the Detroit River that will serve as a critical route for trade, jobs and tourism between Canada and the U.S. Last week, Canada celebrated the Gordie Howe International Bridge with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Windsor, Ontario, to mark the completion of the multibillion-dollar, multiyear project. U.S. and Michigan representatives were uninvited from Friday's gathering after President Donald Trump suddenly announced 50% tariffs on Canadian goods entering America. The bridge is named for Howe, a Canadian hockey icon who played on the other side of the river for the NHL’s Detroit Red Wings.
