The article critiques Prime Minister Mark Carney's decision to concede to Donald Trump's demands regarding the Gordie Howe Bridge deal.Originally, Canada funded the bridge and collected toll revenues, but the new agreement involves sharing 50% of net profits with a Michigan economic development fund for 15 years.Critics argue this undermines Canada's sovereignty and sets a dangerous precedent for future negotiations.

Trump praised the deal as a 'much better deal for America,' while economists and analysts warn it damages Canada's credibility and long-term trade relations.The article highlights how Carney's rhetoric and concessions have alienated potential allies and risked Canada's economic interests.The deal also includes U.S.veto power over toll increases, further tilting the balance in favor of American interests.
