Nafta talks: The view from the free trade front lines
As Canada, the US and Mexico prepare to sit down and renegotiate their trade deal at President Donald Trump's request, unease has enveloped a motor industry town in Ontario which finds itself on the front lines of this battle over North American trade.
Every day some 8,000 trucks travel the 2.8km (1.75 miles) between border checkpoints at Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, under the steel arches of the Ambassador Bridge and over the Detroit River.
The 88-year-old bridge - the busiest border crossing by trade volume in North America - is a vital link between the two countries.
It connects industrial nerve centres in each country, feeding highly integrated cross-border supply chains.
