OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is demanding more information from Prime Minister Mark Carney about the deal made with the Trump administration to open the Gordie Howe International Bridge.

source confirmed the details of the Bloomberg report. Carney spread confusion about the finer details of the deal on Thursday, saying that any sharing of toll revenue wouldn't happen until after all the debt was repaid. But he also said Canada and the U.S. will split net revenues — after operational costs — over the course of the first 15 years. Poilievre says Canadians are being left in the dark and deserve to know what was given up to get the bridge opened.
