Windsor mayor says Gordie Howe Bridge ‘will transcend Donald Trump’s presidency’ when it opens

A new international span was set to open soon, but it has now been delayed. In an email statement Thursday morning, Mayor Dilkens said, “Although we would all like the Gordie Howe International Bridge to open, Canada need not fall on bent knee to make it happen.” Producer Sam Corey spoke with Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens yesterday before the ribbon cutting had been canceled. He says the bridge is "the ultimate symbol of connection" and friendship.
