Finally worked back through my tabs to this. Here's the key blurb: "Net bridge and crossing related revenues is all revenues collected with respect to the bridge, less all incurred operating costs of the bridge." gordiehoweinternationalbridge.com/proposed-agr...

Proposed Agreement in Principle | Gordie Howe International Bridge

Proposed Agreement in Principle Canada and the United States have reached agreement in principle

The greatest global threat to both peace and a habitable planet is the government of the USA. It has been so for a long time, but Trump has nixed the deniability. We should stop treating it as an ally that has mysteriously gone astray and start treating it as a hazard to be avoided and contained.

Carney asked about bridge deal refers to "net revenues" after "operating costs". No mention of interest expenses. Talks about "aligned incentives" saying that Michigan economic development will drive more traffic to the bridge and therefore toll revenues.

As an ex-member of the Canadian military who’s well aware of how assholes from poser countries (US, Israel etc) laugh at that, I’m also well aware of how 200k of my comrades have died elsewhere when our own land was never threatened. Dying for ideals. 🇨🇦 I won’t await an Israeli apology for this.

Seven UN peacekeepers in Lebanon have been killed by Israel since the Iran war began. And two weeks ago in Gaza, Israel destroyed a cemetery containing the remains of 22 Canadian soldiers killed in the first UN peacekeeping initiative in 1956. Israel blew up the cemetery to a depth of 30 meters.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced that Mexico is taking legal action against the United States in regards to the cold blooded murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by an ICE killer in Texas. They’ll pursue justice for the mistreatment of Mexican nationals. Good. 💙👊

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

India just generated 50% of its electricity from clean sources. For 15 minutes. Sounds trivial? That's how every record starts: first minutes, then a day, then a month, then a whole year. Some states are already there: Karnataka crossed 60% clean power last year.
