As Trump’s Tariff War With Canada Drags On, This Border Community Suffers Without a Voice

In late June, about 1,100 people walked across the International Bridge between Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The event is an annual tradition that celebrates the close ties of the two twin cities. Michigan’s mayor, Don Gerrie, told the crowd that residents do not feel a border because they see themselves as one family. The walk took place while the ongoing tariff dispute between the United States and Canada continues.
