About this episode
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the delayed opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a Canadian-financed infrastructure project connecting Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan. Although the bridge is ready to open, the Trump administration has blocked its launch, allegedly due to lobbying by the owner of the competing Ambassador Bridge. They explore whether this represents pay-to-play corruption in the Trump White House and debate whether Canada should adopt more transactional tactics to advance its interests in the bilateral relationship.
