Trade war brings fear to Canadian border city

In the Canadian city of Windsor, which survives on the cross-border auto industry, the start of a trade war with the United States has opened a period of fear and uncertainty.

Windsor is separated from Detroit, Michigan, by a river and American automakers based in the US city have been an essential employer on the Canadian side for decades.

"The value of what we have around us is based on the automotive industry. So if it were to collapse, that will collapse with it," said Robert Pikata, a 60-year-old who works for Windsor's municipal government.

Like many Windsor residents, Pikata has been following the news closely in recent weeks.
