The Canadian government has cancelled their participation in a joint U.S-Canada ribbon cutting ceremony because President Trump has hurt their feelings with a new tariff announcement.
It is the official position of the Canadian government not to join in any collaborative celebration. This comes on the heels of the Premier of British Columbia, David Eby, asking his staff to revoke the Canada statement celebrating America’s 250th Independence Day. Take that Trump! {{harrumph}}
CANADA – A planned joint ceremony on Friday between the U.S. and Canada marking the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge has been canceled after President Trump announced a 50 percent tariff on certain Canadian imports, including alcohol and dairy.
“In light of trade action threatened by the United States earlier this week, it would be inappropriate to proceed with a celebratory event between the two countries,” Jenna Ghassabeh, a spokesperson for Canadian Infrastructure Minister Gregor Robertson, said in a statement to the Associated Press.
“We remain committed to opening the bridge on July 27th, and to celebrating this milestone among Canadians on July 24th,” she continued. (read more)
Eh?
Well geez, does the accordion 🪗 player still get paid?
Yea, we noticed how they “helped” with World Cup finals week.
Who wants their participation?
if we were to respond in kind,
perhaps we could throw out the Canadian pro sports teams from competing in U.S. divisions?
buh-bye Montreal Canadiens,Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Blue Jays,
Toronto Raptors, Calgary Flames, Winnipeg Jets, Ottawa Senators, and Vancouver Canucks.
let ’em start their own leagues.
no reciprocity can be, well, reciprocal.😂
This is a bridge to nowhere.
Looking at a map it seems like the access is better.
In about 6 months the US used truck market will explode with used Chevs and GMCs from Canada when their original owners can no longer afford their payments. Here in the NW about 80% of the newer used trucks are out of the Canadian auctions
This kind of behavior Indicates a lot of weakness in current Canadian leadership.
“It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to.”
Where is Pollyveer?
Veered to the other side again, I guess!
(I need to look up the correct spelling and pronunciation of his name – I thought he was such a disgrace during the Trucker Strike – what a wimp)
It’s very childish behavior. It could have been a rare moment of positivity between the two nations. Instead, Canada ditches it.
BTW, in my area of Canada and the people I speak to, nobody knows that the Americans built that bridge. And almost all people who comment on Canadian media websites have a distinct hatred for Trump.
I’m taking my ball and going home, oh wait, never mind, keep your ball and I’m still going home.
Canada is still pissed because they lost the hockey game in the Olympics.

Or when in one game, they got beat up…Payback is hell?
Wahhh.
If they could they would take their bridge and go home. Such childish behavior. Oh wait, sorry, behaviour.
I’ll really start getting scared when they begin to stomp their feet.
The Canadians have said their piece and counted to 10. Harrumph!! 🤣
What a bunch of cry babies.
Trump should have a huge 4th of July type celebration with fireworks and RWB decorated boats on the river.
Socialists hate it when their fantasies are confronted and disrespected–and their subsidies ended.
Wah Wah Wah. Grownup leadership of Canada. You did it to yourselves.
Hey Carney, digging your heels in won’t slow the collapse of your economy, eh?
Better hope Trump doesn’t blow the bridge to smithereens
Cry us a river. The bridge is already there.
Bridge over river Cry
“Take off, hosers”.
Pathetic
Trump should tell Canada the bridge will remain closed until such time Carney and Ford appear in person to celebrate the opening of the bridge.
Both Canadians must put best smiles of celebration for the bridge to open.
That’s it…
Maybe if we name it the “Gordie Howe-Donald Trump Bridge”, they would feel bitter…..er, I mean better.
Yep, that’s one of the below mentioned chinks. 😉
Carnage can’t risk being asked by the MSM about the lies he told regarding the nature of the deal his canny negotiatiors, Ben Dover and Phil McCavity, made with President Trump.
There have been a couple of chinks 🤣 in his lizard-skin armour this week in the media.
He needs the ash (sorry, dust) to settle for a bit.
🤦♀️
So they name the bridge after their frozen pond hero then they dis him??
Now that’s some serious butt hurt TDS. Aye.
Hosers!!!
Canadian Fatigue, I think I’m developing a bad case. Northern Wall anyone?
Perhaps Trump should tell Carney the bridge will remain closed until his personal financial investment in Canada is greater than his investments in the US! Make him own the decline of Canada with his personal finances.
The correct answer is don’t post CBP agents at the booths.
The Canadians paid for it, let them suffer the consequences of their childish TDS.
These snow Mexicans are so hormonal.
