A Canada-only ceremony is being held today to mark the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. The event follows the cancellation earlier this week of a planned joint celebration with the United States.
The federal government stated that the joint celebration was called off in light of recent tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is skipping today's event to visit a national park in Newfoundland and Labrador, where he is highlighting the Canada Strong Pass.
