CPC Leader Poilievre weighs in:

Mark Carney keeps telling us things that we later learned are false about the Gordie Howe Bridge and Canada-U.S. trade.
He said Canada would get all the toll revenues from the bridge until our construction debts were repaid. False.
Then he said the bridge opening was delayed because of technical aspects. A federal department now says it was a dispute about governance.
Why not tell the truth?
But the MP whose questions triggered the disclosure says he’s “not satisfied at all” with the responses, accusing Ottawa of still hiding key information about the $6.4-billion bridge that became mired in cross-border political controversy this year.

But the talk before was that it could be a new Chrysler model:

She declined to say what the models were. I asked what changed between then and now with Stellantis saying it's considering selling the plant — she said to ask the company. (Which I definitely will.)
NEW: Unifor National President says Stellantis *did* present the union with vehicle models to replace the Jeep Compass at the Brampton plant.
Those models would have been set aside for the idled plant for 2028/2029, Payne said at a press conference not long ago.

Apparently it was the call with Carney. But again, we were first in line. Why skip us, and not whoever's last in line?
(not to mention they gave one of the other reporters an extra question)
CBC Windsor was first in line to ask a question at Pierre Poilievre's press conference here yesterday.
Staff skipped our reporter, let the other reporters ask questions, then ended the presser and walked away.
