Fact-checking Donald Trump on tariffs -- what questions do you have about the U.S.-Canada trade relationship?

It's been another week of escalating tariffs and threats between the United States and Canada. The U.S. placed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports on Wednesday, and Canada responded with its own counter-tariffs on U.S. goods. Whether it's dairy, lumber, or trade deficits... Donald Trump has made a lot of claims about the Canada-U.S. relationship the last few weeks. What questions do you have about how the relationship actually works? What claims do you want our experts to fact-check? Jim Stanford is an economist and the Director of the Centre for Future Work in Vancouver, and Rambod Behboodi is a trade lawyer and senior counsel at the law firm Borden Ladner Gervais. They will take your questions.
