I'm writing this from Canada with a request I never thought I would make of another country.

Please help us.

Not our government. Us. The Canadian people. Please help us understand what is happening to our own country.

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.
