WINDSOR, Ontario — These are complicated times along Canada’s border.
Whenever President Donald Trump talks about obliterating Canada’s auto industry, he takes direct aim at the people who live over the river from Detroit in Windsor. Windsorites recoil from his threats, but few see Detroiters as adversaries.
But as they gear up to head to the polls on April 28 in a snap federal election, the focus for Canadians in border towns and elsewhere is increasingly their complicated relationship with their neighbors. As long as there’s a trade war, Trump will be the ballot question.
