Gordie Howe Bridge Opening Cancelled; SpaceX Prices Record $75B IPO; UK Defence Secretary Healey Resigns
The Windsor-Detroit bridge opening was cancelled Thursday after Canada and the US failed to resolve outstanding differences — a setback for the $4.28-billion crossing years in the making. In London, Defence Secretary Healey resigned over Treasury’s refusal to fund an £18-billion defence plan ahead of NATO. And in a historic market debut, SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 a share — a $75-billion raise that eclipses Saudi Aramco to become the largest public offering in history.
