When you face existential threat and the leader of a country has to protect citizens from an adversary that bypasses the rules or doesn't even consider them as applicable to them, only the weak-minded and clueless shout “foul play.”

Our relationship with the United States is deteriorating. Our economy is hurting. Canadian and American families are worried about jobs, businesses, mortgages and the country we're going to hand our children. Yet through one of the most consequential trade disputes of our lifetime, ordinary Canadians are being left in the dark about what is actually happening.

We hear statements and vague explanations from our government. What we don't get to see or hear is what actually happened at the table.

Increasingly, Canadians are learning more about ...
