Democrats launching probe into Trump, Lutnick links with Moroun after Gordie Howe bridge threat
Trump threatened this week to block opening of Gordie Howe bridge linking Windsor-Detroit
Democrats in Washington say they’re launching an investigation into the Trump administration and its links to the Ambassador Bridge's owner after the U.S. president threatened to block the opening of the competing Gordie Howe International Bridge earlier this week.
The top Democrat on the House oversight committee has requested that the administration turn over a wide range of records related to the new bridge, as well as any communications with Matthew Moroun.
The bridges, which are within about five kilometres of each other, link Windsor, Ont., to Detroit.
“It appears that you have chosen to protect a politically connected billionaire donor family at the expense of promoting American commerce,” California Rep. Robert Garcia, the committee’s ranking member, wrote in a letter to U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick this week.
The Democrats' move comes after the New York Times reported that Donald Trump issued the threat only hours after Lutnick met with Moroun in Washington, then spoke by phone with the president about the meeting.
The Moroun family has owned and controlled the nearly 100-year-old Ambassador Bridge for decades, and has long opposed the construction of a new, publicly owned span down the Detroit River, which will likely cut into their commercial truck toll income.
The Morouns are heavy Republican donors and the Ambassador Bridge company has spent millions lobbying the Trump administration since his first term.
“Political interference and a resulting delay or blocking of the opening of the long planned Gordie Howe International Bridge is likely to result in prolonged congestion and risks the disruption of cross-border production schedules, increasing costs for American manufacturers, and jeopardizing the U.S. auto industry,” Garcia wrote in the letter.
Bill to stop president from blocking bridge opening
A half-dozen Democratic House members who represent districts in Michigan have also taken aim at the Trump administration in the wake of his bridge threats.
They've introduced a bill to prohibit the president or any other federal officials from impeding the opening “or attempt the closure of the Gordie Howe International Bridge and its associated port of entry unless approved by an Act of Congress or requested by the governor of Michigan.”
The bill, titled the Michigan-Canada Partnership Act, has been referred to the House’s foreign affairs committee for further consideration.
But unless Republicans lend their support to both the bill and the investigation, they’re unlikely to be successful in the House, where Democrats are in the minority and have limited powers.
A spokesperson for Republican Rep. James Comer, chair of the oversight panel who's from Kentucky, did not respond to a request for comment.
Democrats urge Trump to reconsider
On Friday, the Democratic House members from Michigan joined the state's two senators in penning a letter to Trump telling him that his comments earlier this week put economic benefits and "years of bipartisan work towards the opening of the bridge in jeopardy."
The comments came "as a shock," the lawmakers wrote, considering the president's past support for the new bridge and the work of his administration so far.
The letter says that just two weeks ago, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security published a rule formally establishing the Gordie Howe bridge as an official port of entry.
The rule is effective March 2, and says that the "final steps necessary prior to opening the Gordie Howe International Bridge border crossing, including the assignment of CBP officers, have [...] been completed."
"The public will benefit greatly from the new crossing facility at GHIB," the document notes.
In their letter, the Democrats say they "understand and share" Trump's "desire to reduce offshoring of U.S. businesses while increasing the supply of good-paying American jobs," but that "threatening the opening of this essentially completed project will do just the opposite to our shared goal."
"Businesses will suffer, jobs will be lost, and our local, state, and national economies will undoubtedly face significant damage," they wrote.
They also urged Trump to work with Prime Minister Mark Carney "to address our ongoing trade relationship as a separate issue, for which we stand ready to assist."

Morouns ramped up bridge lobbying before Trump’s Gordie Howe threats
Matthew Moroun, owner of the Ambassador Bridge, has also donated heavily to Republicans
It’s no secret that the Morouns, owners and operators of the nearly 100-year-old Ambassador Bridge connecting Michigan and Ontario, are no fan of the new competing span down the Detroit River.
The billionaire family has spent years — and millions of dollars — fighting the construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which once open will end their monopoly on commercial truck toll revenue in the area.
But an analysis of U.S. federal lobbying and campaign finance data sheds fresh light on how the family has sought to influence the political landscape around the busiest land border crossing between the U.S. and Canada.
Those efforts have drawn renewed scrutiny this week after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to block the opening of the more than $6-billion bridge that the Canadian government paid for in full, further inflaming tensions between the two countries.
On Tuesday, the New York Times reported that Trump’s social media broadside came just hours after Michigan trucking titan Matthew Moroun, chairman of the company that oversees the Ambassador Bridge, met with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in Washington — and that Lutnick then spoke to the president by phone.
Neither Moroun nor the White House immediately responded to requests for comment from CBC News. CBC has not independently confirmed the New York Times report.
Bridge hires Trump-connected lobbying firm
Matthew Moroun is the chairman of the Detroit International Bridge Company. The company owns and runs the Ambassador Bridge, and the Canadian Transit Company operates the Canadian half of the bridge.
In the summer, the bridge company revived its working relationship with Ballard Partners, a top lobbying firm in Trump’s Washington with deep ties to his administration — including his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, a former Ballard partner.
The firm first registered to lobby on behalf of the bridge company in the spring of 2018 — months before construction officially kicked off on the nearby Gordie Howe bridge. During the first Trump administration, the company would pay Ballard at least $2.5 million US to lobby on transportation regulation and “issues related to construction and operation of international bridges,” according to disclosure reports.
The amount is more than the bridge company had ever spent in previous years on other lobbyists.
A chart from OpenSecrets showing lobbying activity on behalf of the company that owns and operates the Ambassador Bridge. (OpenSecrets)Wiles doesn’t appear to have been working on the bridge file. Another major figure now in Trump’s orbit — Pam Bondi — registered to do so in early 2021, the same period Trump left office. Bondi is now the U.S. attorney general.
But work on the new span continued, and during former president Joe Biden’s term, that relationship appears to have gone largely dormant — until this past August.
Ballard updated its registration to lobby on behalf of the bridge company on Aug. 1, 2025. The bridge company has since paid Ballard $250,000 US to lobby the White House, U.S. Congress, and State Department on “international bridges” again, per subsequent reports.
That lobbying has included a total of six lobbyists, including firm founder Brian Ballard and two Trump administration veterans, the records show. It’s the most lobbyists the bridge company has had working on its behalf since 2005, according to OpenSecrets, a U.S. organization that collects and analyzes campaign and lobbying data.
Representatives for Ballard did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Morouns make sizeable contributions to Republicans
Matthew Moroun and his wife have been frequent donors to Republican candidates, political action committees, and congressional campaign arms over the years.
He hasn’t always supported Trump, though. In 2023, Moroun gave $236,800 US to Never Back Down Inc., a super PAC supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
But Moroun’s support of the party didn’t end with DeSantis’ eventual withdrawal from the race. In July, roughly a month before Ballard started lobbying for the bridge company again, Moroun gave the Republican National Committee a total of $250,000 US, according to Federal Election Commission data.
The three payments dated July 8, 2025, each included different memos: A $44,300 donation was listed as a “contribution,” a $72,800 donation was listed as a “headquarters account contribution,” and $132,900 donation was listed as a “legal proceedings account contribution.”
It’s unclear to which legal proceedings the memo refers, but Trump in 2024 reportedly struck a joint fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee to funnel donations to his campaign and a PAC that has paid his hefty legal fees.

Carney speaks to Trump after president erupts over Gordie Howe Bridge
PM explained to Trump that Canada paid for Windsor-Detroit crossing and that Michigan owns part of it
Carney says he told Trump Canada paid for Gordie Howe BridgePrime Minister Mark Carney said he spoke to his U.S. counterpart early Tuesday morning about the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which Donald Trump has threatened to block, explaining to him that Canadians paid for the bridge in full and that the Americans already have an ownership stake.
Carney said he told Trump that the federal government paid some $4 billion to build the Windsor-Detroit bridge and that it was built with Canadian and U.S. workers and steel from both countries, despite the president's bogus claims that there was "virtually no U.S. content" used during construction.
While Trump said the federal government owns "both the Canada and the United States side," the bridge is, in fact, publicly owned by both Canada and Michigan.
The Canada-Michigan Crossing Agreement, signed between the two jurisdictions in 2012, guarantees its joint, binational ownership despite Canada paying all upfront costs associated with construction.
The Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority, which will be responsible for operating the bridge, is a Canadian Crown corporation. The International Authority, which is composed of an equal number of representatives from Canada and Michigan, has oversight over the bridge.
"This is a great example of co-operation between our countries. I look forward to its opening," Carney told reporters on Parliament Hill on Tuesday morning.
"What is particularly important, of course, is the commerce and the tourism and the voyages of Canadians and Americans that will go across that bridge."
Trump says U.S. should own 'at least one half' of Gordie Howe bridgeCarney said the U.S. ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, will "play a role in smoothing the conversation in and around the bridge."
"It was a positive conversation," Carney said, adding he told Trump that Canada's women's hockey team will beat the Americans in their Olympic matchup today. "It's a big game today and we're going to win."
Ontario Premier Doug Ford seemed unfazed by Trump's latest anti-Canada tirade.
"Make no mistake about it, as sure as I'm talking to you, I'm very confident the bridge is going to open," Ford told reporters on Tuesday.
"It's going to open because it's in the best interest of the American economy," he said, pointing to the Michigan politicians who have condemned Trump's remarks while voicing support for the bridge.
"If President Trump didn't want it to go forward, why did he fast track it? All of a sudden, he changed his mind and it's not good," Ford said.
Before Trump threatened to block the bridge on Monday, he had made positive statements about the new link. "We look forward to the expeditious completion of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which will serve as a vital economic link between our two countries," Trump said in a joint statement with former prime minister Justin Trudeau in 2017.

International Crossing will be named the Gordie Howe International
Bridge. (Dave Chidley/The Canadian Press) Carney said he also discussed issues around the Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement (CUSMA) with Trump on the call.
In an interview with Fox Business, Jamieson Greer, Trump's trade representative and point-person on CUSMA, said there will be "a negotiation specific to the bridge," and he suggested the Americans want a cut of any toll revenue raised by Canada.
Canada is set to collect that toll money to recoup the costs of paying for a bridge, which will benefit businesses and workers on both sides of the border, without any U.S. financial assistance.
Greer said the U.S. is "the main economy" and many times bigger than Canada and it should be compensated for allowing goods to be sold into its territory.
"The United States needs to make sure it has its fair share of any proceeds from that bridge and the economic activity that it generates."

(Carlos Osorio/Reuters)Greer also spoke about the Ambassador Bridge, the neighbouring crossing owned privately by the American Moroun family, a major Republican political donor that spent years fighting the construction of the competing new bridge.
Greer said "the U.S. has more of a say" with that bridge, which has made the Moroun family billionaires. "We just want to make sure our economic and national security is preserved," he said.
Greer also said early CUSMA negotiations with Canada have not been going very well.
"The Mexicans are being quite pragmatic right now.… With the Canadians it's more challenging," he told Fox Business. "There are a variety of issues they haven't addressed — and they aren't addressing."
Before Christmas, Greer had laid out what the Americans expect Canada to do to ensure CUSMA clears this year's review process, including more access for U.S. farmers to the Canadian dairy market and an end to the provincial U.S. liquor boycott.

Subject: Liberal MP calls Trump a Nazi and Trump threatens to close the border
To: <David.Raymond.Amos333@gmail.com>
Liberal MP calls Trump a Nazi and Trump threatens to close the borderA Liberal MP accuses a Conservative MP of being a Nazi collaborator because of his friendship with the Vice President, Trump threatens to prevent the opening of a new bridge from Windsor to Detroit.
On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm News Update, Candice reviews the latest Nazi reference aimed at Canadian Conservatives and President Donald Trump. No wonder President Trump distrusts the Liberals! This time, a backbench Liberal MP accuses Jamil Jivani of being Nazi collaborator after Jivani’s successful trip to Washington D.C. over the weekend. Jivani utilized his personal friendship with U.S. Vice President JD Vance to set up meetings in the White House. In response, Liberal MP John-Paul Danko compared Conservative MP Jamil Jivani to a notorious Nazi collaborator, implying that Trump himself is a Nazi. This isn’t the first time Liberals have gone down this path. Candice reminds us of the many times Liberals have played this card, and how this whole trade war started over reckless Liberal remarks. Next, Candice discusses President Trump’s threat to close the border and stop the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge from Windsor, Ontario to Detroit, Michigan unless Canada agrees to concessions. Prime Minister Mark Carney immediately jumped on a call with President Trump, and told reporters he had a position conversation. At least President Trump is taking his call. Candice then discusses a common sense Conservative proposal to bar serious criminals from Canada and deport non-citizens convicted of serious crimes. It’s about time Canada got serious about open borders and the third world crime wave hitting our country. Finally, Candice examines the Brampton VISA KING – a flashy immigration consultant under fire for boasting about taking advantage of Canada’s immigration system.

Economic Prosperity
The construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge will directly create thousands of jobs in Ontario and Michigan. It is anticipated that local businesses will supply goods and raw materials during construction, which will provide regional economic benefits and additional employment opportunities in the area. Many permanent jobs will be created for the operation and maintenance of the bridge and Ports of Entry once open.
With direct connections to Ontario's Highway 401 and Michigan's Interstate 75, the bridge will provide the capacity to increase trade and encourage investment between Canada and the U.S., supporting the largest bilateral trading relationship in the world.
Roles and Responsibilities
The Government of Canada is funding the entire project.
Infrastructure Canada is responsible for providing oversight and due diligence to ensure the project continues to comply with government direction and with the 2012 Canada-Michigan Crossing Agreement.
Other Canadian federal bodies involved in the project include Canada Border Services Agency, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Headquartered in Windsor, Ontario, Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority (WDBA) is a not-for-profit Canadian Crown corporation which reports to Parliament through the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities.
WDBA is responsible for the implementation of the project, which is being delivered through a public-private partnership (P3).
WDBA selected the P3 partner and manages the P3 project agreement. WDBA is also responsible for project oversight including construction and operation of the new crossing.

Now is the winter of our discontent
Carney taps business executive Mark Wiseman to serve as Canada's ambassador to the U.S.
Canada's new top diplomat is a longtime friend of the prime minister
Mark Wiseman speaks during the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit in New York in 2017. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Monday that Wiseman will serve as Canada's ambassador to the U.S. (Mike Segar/Reuters)Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Monday that business executive Mark Wiseman will serve as Canada's ambassador to the U.S. — a figure with cross-border bona fides but a controversial pick, nonetheless, due to some of his past comments about Quebec.
Wiseman, a longtime friend of the prime minister who has held senior roles at some of the country's largest pension funds, takes over for the departing Kirsten Hillman on Feb. 15, 2026.
Wiseman is headed to Washington at a pivotal time. In the months since U.S. President Donald Trump launched his trade war on Canada, the relationship has been badly frayed — and there could be more tension on the horizon when the two sides hash out a resolution in the new year.
"Mark Wiseman brings immense experience, contacts, and deep commitment at this crucial time of transformation of our relationship with the United States. As a core member of our negotiating team, he will help advance the interests of Canadian workers, businesses, and institutions, while building opportunities for both Canada and the United States," Carney said in a statement.
Wiseman will be tasked with helping lead the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) review talks, which are expected to get underway in January.
As part of those discussions, Wiseman will try to help broker some relief from the punishing tariffs Trump has imposed on goods coming from some key Canadian sectors, like steel, aluminum, autos and lumber.
Trump's trade representative, Jamieson Greer, has already laid out what he expects to see from Canada to successfully negotiate an extension of that pact, including changes to supply management as well as laws that protect Canadian culture, which U.S. tech giants have strenuously opposed. He also wants to see a dismantling of provincial bans on U.S. liquor brands.
Greer told Congress that CUSMA has been "successful to a certain degree" but that amendments are needed before Trump agrees to extend it for another 16 years or revert to yearly reviews, something Canada is eager to avoid given the resulting annual uncertainty.
Wiseman, born in the border town of Niagara Falls, Ont., is no stranger to these irritants.
Among Carney's first decisions after being sworn in earlier this year was naming Wiseman to the Prime Minister’s Council on Canada-U.S. Relations, a body first created by former prime minister Justin Trudeau just as Trump was about to be sworn in as president for the second time.
Experience in 'all different sectors'
In an interview with CBC News, David Paterson, Ontario's representative to the U.S., welcomed Wiseman's appointment, saying his business acumen will be useful in the months to come as the CUSMA renewal talks intensify.
"I think we're in a six-month sprint right now to July 1 to try and solve as many of those issues, largely sectoral issues, as we can by that date so that we can see this deal move forward," Paterson said, referring to Greer's list of conditions that must be met before renewing CUSMA.
"Wiseman's understanding of investment as a financial person, he's got experience looking into all different sectors. I think that'll be a help," he said.
The incoming ambassador's close relationship with the prime minister is also a plus, Paterson said, as it means Wiseman can speak with some authority.
"It's so encouraging and important that the prime minister has developed a good rapport with the president — that's particularly important here. So having somebody that is in close, regular conversation with the prime minister in this role is going to be absolutely essential."
While Ontario has its own concerns about the state of the trade negotiations — the province wants Ottawa to be more focused on averting U.S. efforts to torpedo the auto sector — Paterson said he's confident the Carney-Wiseman duo are well-placed to land a deal when the time comes.
"We'll be there 100 per cent behind the new ambassador to make sure that he's successful," he said.
Concerns in Quebec
While Wiseman may have Ontario's support, at least one province has raised red flags about the appointment.
Wiseman's past public musings on supply management make him a controversial pick in some circles, notably in Quebec where there is a contingent of politically active dairy farmers determined to keep that regime in place.
Wiseman previously said supply management, which protects the domestic dairy industry from some imports and guarantees farmers a minimum price for their products, benefits a "group of settled players," impedes innovation and keeps "prices artificially high for Canadian consumers."
Those comments have prompted concern that Wiseman will be a half-hearted defender of supply management when Trump and his team put it on the table for negotiation.
WATCH | Carney, Ford answer questions ahead of CUSMA review:Carney, Ford respond to questions about U.S. demands ahead of CUSMA review
December 18|Duration 4:50Prime Minister Mark Carney, appearing alongside Premier Doug Ford Thursday at an event outlining steps to align approaches around major projects, took questions on their response to recent demands put forth by the U.S. trade representative around access to Canada's dairy market and how provinces are handling the sale of U.S. alcohol.Speaking to reporters earlier this month amid reports Wiseman could get the U.S. job, Pascal Paradis, a Parti Québécois member of Quebec's National Assembly, said his nomination would be "unacceptable" for Quebec.
"The Parti Québécois will never accept the nomination of Mark Wiseman as Canada's ambassador to the U.S. Why? Because Mark Wiseman is not a friend of the Quebec nation," Paradis said at a news conference in Quebec City.
Carney has been adamant that supply management is safe on his watch.
"We've been clear about our approach to supply management. We continue to stand by that. We will continue to protect supply management," the prime minister said at a news conference last week after Greer's conditions for the CUSMA review were released.
Wiseman also serves as chairman of the Century Initiative, a non-profit that calls for more immigration to boost Canada's economy. Two years ago, he posted an article with an eyebrow-raising headline on social media — "100 million Canadians by 2100 may not be federal policy, but it should be – even if it makes Quebec howl," is how that Globe and Mail column read and what he reposted on X.
That prompted Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to say Wiseman is "someone who has shown contempt for Quebec and who cannot negotiate on behalf of Quebec."
Bloc Québécois House leader Christine Normandin also took issue with the use of the word "howl," which she said is something dogs do.
But Wiseman's job will have very little, if anything, to do with immigration levels. His attention will be focused on securing a successful CUSMA review with unpredictable Trump.
Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney, a Conservative, said that's what Wiseman is well-suited to do.
The two worked together when Wiseman was the head of Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), a Crown corporation that invests tens of billions of dollars worth of funds generated from the province's oil resources and public pension plans.
"Mark is one of Canada’s top private sector finance experts who is an effective dealmaker. He’s the kind of guy who could get down to brass tacks and defend our interests effectively in dealing with the Trump administration," Kenney said, prior to Wiseman's appointment being confirmed.
Richard Shimooka, a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, said the trust Carney and Wiseman have developed over years of friendship will be useful during what is expected to be tense negotiations during the Trump administration.
While Hillman was widely respected, she was a Trudeau appointee, and Wiseman said Carney is entitled to his own hand-picked ambassador.
Plus, the wealthy Wiseman is a good fit for the administration he's poised to deal with, Shimooka said.
Looking at Trump's cabinet, "there's a large number of people in there who are in the economic upper crust," he said. "Wiseman has the ability to go to these people and speak their language."
Either way, Wiseman's negotiation skills — and patience — will be put to the test with the sometimes erratic Trump, Shimooka said.
"This is not going to be easy. You can have an agreement on policy one day and the next day, it's gone."

Global National: Dec. 22, 2025 | Carney picks Mark Wiseman as Canada’s new US ambassador
Started 10 minutes agoPrime Minister Mark Carney has appointed Mark Wiseman, his close friend and an experienced financier, to fulfill the role of U.S. ambassador. As Mackenzie Gray explains, while Wiseman has no diplomatic or electoral experience, he’s no stranger to politics as a co-founder of the ‘Century Initiative.’There is more controversy surrounding CBS News over a move being criticized as appeasement to U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration. Candice Cole reports on how it relates to the network’s ’60 Minutes’ program and how even the show’s own journalists are upset.While joy is often a focus during the holiday season, feelings of stress are often present. In some cases, that experience can be a difficult burden to manage. Katherine Ward speaks with experts about the emotional challenges people can encounter this time year and strategies on how to cope.Plus, 'Heated Rivalry,' a TV series based on a book of the same name by Canadian author Rachel Reid, is striking a chord across streaming platforms and social media. Neetu Garcha explains what the show is about, why it resonates with so many viewers – and how it's sparking conversations about identity and inclusion in sports.6 Comments

He was at the CPP IB in late 1990s, about when the CPP IB first entered the investment world of derivatives . It is also about the same time the CPP IB decided it would be smart to borrow money to make new investments with.According to the independent CPP IB auditor, on March 30, 2025 the CPP IB had a financial liability of $220,040 millions ( only $20 million in 2002) and a financing annual cost of $7,213 millions , when in the previous century there was nothing much..Leaving a financial mess of this order behind , that the Finance Minister has yet to suggest a solution that takes away these liabilities from the CPP Plan, hardly qualifies him for any senior role in the financial affairs of Canada.I am asking myself if you even read my letter of July 23, 2025 where I tried to politely demonstrate the ridiculous and border-line criminal investment condition of the CPP Plan. Given all the evidence from the 1980s, it was blindingly clear that making derivative investments did not meet the stated objective of no "undue risk of loss". Doing so made me suspicious of use the "quiet" of financial incentives.Get people who have demonstrated objectivity and sound ethical/moral judgement to front our trade talks , not someone with deficits in these attributes.Sincerely , Erik AndersenJan 25, 2026Washington has erupted into political turmoil as senior Senate leaders openly break with Donald Trump, signaling a dramatic shift inside the Republican Party.

Jan 24, 2026Mark Carney and his cabinet wrapped up a two-day retreat in Quebec City Friday afternoon, but the prime minister offered no closing remarks, nor did he take questions from journalists during the two-day planning session.Carney was expected to take questions Friday afternoon, but his press conference was abruptly cancelled at the last minute, with reporters already in line for questions in front of a podium. His office offered little explanation, citing his schedule as a reason, and told reporters on the ground Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne would be available instead.
