FWIW, re: Gordie Howe bridge opening, I asked CBSA if they have customs officers scheduled to work in the booths there next week. CBSA responded saying they're "ready to begin processing travellers and goods" at GHIB as soon as it opens.

Pete Hoekstra, a former House Intel chairman and current ambassador to Canada, is in conversations with the White House about the DNI position, according to a source familiar. Hoekstra also played a key role in rebuilding the Michigan GOP in 2024. apnews.com/article/trump-pul…

PM Carney softens his language on the Gordie Howe bridge opening, saying it might take longer but that "there's no big drama." Comes after WH official told CBC News that Pres. Trump's position on the bridge "has not changed." cbc.ca/news/politics/gordie-…

"Canadians are super fucking cool."
Things most Americans agree on: Groceries cost too much. Tariffs suck and make no sense. Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks. The debt is a mess. The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good. Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained. Americans are exhausted. AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you. Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF. Canadians are super fucking cool. Mexicans are chill. Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies. Good neighbors are a blessing. Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea. We all question, are we alone in the universe? We all fuck up along the way. Epstein didn’t hang himself. The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day. The Cowboys suck. Go Birds! Things we’re told to fight about: Me. Laptop. Vaccines. Transgenders in sports. Pronouns. That’s the joke.

The Gordie Howe bridge authority has said they're waiting on systems testing to open it. But asked by @JasonViauCBC if Pres. Trump's threat has delayed it, Min. Solomon pointed to "ongoing negotiation" with the US. His office later walked it back: cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/1…

Amb. Hoekstra said recently that the U.S. and Canada are in talks over an opening agreement: "At the end of the day, the president will have to sign off on it...There’s a lot of issues right now between the U.S. and Canada. The bridge is one more.” x.com/LoopEmma/status/204958…

Per the Detroit News, a sticking point for the U.S. in talks to open the Gordie Howe bridge is that it'll take too long for Canada to recoup the cost to build it, thus delaying Michigan's future revenue — despite the fact that Canada paid in full. detroitnews.com/story/news/l…
