NAFTA-gate. Taylor Marsh reports that CTV stands by story.

Ian Brodie has RESIGNED! Well ahead of the release of the report investigating NAFTA-gate!

Recall, that Ian Brodie is Canada's PM top advisor, who many have said was the one who started NAFTA-gate when he told reporters that it was Clinton's campaign that reassured them first.

Now that Hillary has no chance of winning and Obama is looking more like he has what it takes to beat McCain, the Canadian gov't is looking to do some damage control and mending fences.

Looks like Brodie's the fall guy!

It's pretty amusing that the comments actually ended up coming from the Clinton camp. Typical, and she still hasn't explained Mark Penn's Colombia dealings either.

[Pondarama]

Obamanation soldiers' full time job is to find info against Obama then use the comments section to deny it while at the same time trashing Hillary and accusing her of spreading what they call lies.

Do not be used! Check every day and when you find the Obamanator re-working your video, return the favor and remove their Hill bashing from your comments section.

This is how Obamanation is being built, not on his record but on turning it against her instead!

why isnt my comment getting in?

bama is lying about getting out of nafta. if he tried to get out, they's shoot him like kennedy

Mr. Obama's chief economic adviser, Austan Goolsbee, was quoted as saying that Mr. Obama's NAFTA stand was about "political positioning," rather than an articulation of policy." - nuff said.

The *leaked* memo, a CRIME, has already been discredited by everyone except Hillary and McCain. How was Obama suppose to know someone would commit a CRIME to smear him?

The quotes in the memo were not that of Goolsbee but the writer. The Canadian gov't has apologized for this *smear* against Obama.

NAFTA-gate started when Ian Brodie told a room of reporters that Clinton reassured about NAFTA. When CTV reporters further investigated, the story turned into a *smear* on Obama.

The fabricated leaked memo was a CRIME and an investigation is under way. During an investigation, the suspects will deny and say nothing that will risk more problems for them and their masters.

The Clinton's had the means, motive, and opportunity to commit this CRIME. If the Clintons can get away with murder, rape, and selling of US secrets to foreigners, they can certainly get away with leaking a memo.

Bill Clinton was in Toronto Canada for a fundraiser on Mar 1.

Bill Clinton helped Canada win a mining deal with a Russian company. Bill Clinton pocketed a lot of money on this deal.

Bill Clinton staged a press conference during the Quebec Referendum vote a decade ago, which many say helped to defeat the separatists.

Bill Clinton's favorite concubine is a famous Canadian politician.

When CTV reporters investigated Ian Brodie's comments about Clinton, it somehow turned into a story on Obama.

[midjunenight]

This sounds like a set up.

Think about it:

1. If NAFTA is beneficial to the Canadian government, why would they expose secret assurances that NAFTA would be protected?

It would NOT be in their self-interest to expose a candidate who was actually pro-NAFTA.

2. If they want NAFTA, they would only try to undermine candidates that they think WON'T keep it in place as it currently stands.

[Myaucat]

that's totally false. the canadian government is not denying it and is actually investigating the matter. today's globe and mail article had this: "a memo from a Canadian diplomat in Chicago emerged in which Mr. Obama's chief economic adviser, Austan Goolsbee, was quoted as saying that Mr. Obama's NAFTA stand was about "political positioning," rather than an articulation of policy." - nuff said.

are you really 25yrs old.... dont you feel compelled on some level to put forth a well constructed argument as opposed to veiled racist statements.

The Canadian government is denying that this happened. CTV also accuses Hillary of doing the same thing. As far as REzko goes the only transaction between rezko and obama since rezko was being investigated was obama buying land from his wife. The only other thing is his church the same one that oprah and a large host of white people go to.

by saying the facts are accurate all she has to prove is that it is true that the canadian government said what they said not that what they said was true.

The Canadian government says the facts are not true

Funny that this came out when Obama doesnt have a chance to defend himself. The meeting happened over a week ago yet this comes out the day before the election.

[westphalianprinz]

If it's not Obama, then I'm for Ralph Nader or Cynthia McKinney.

[bubbles221984]

Anyone that votes for Obama is a jackass ! Hussein Obama is worse than having Britney Spears as President ! Watch Brainwasher (about Obama) !

[seattlegonz]

Thank god there are some journalists left in America. Without free and unbiased journalism we lose our democracy...if we lose our democracy we end up with presidents like Bush and BO who talk one way, and do otherwise. Vote Hillary -- let's get someone who stands by her word, and will get it done.

[midjunenight]

I live in NY, the state that Hillary is claiming her "experience" in. She's letting big land developers illegally FORCE entire neighborhoods of people to sell their homes so that they can build ill-planned jumbo stadiums. She's standing by and watching families being forced out of their homes. It's completely anti-democracy, anti-middle class, and anti-private property rights. I don't believe she stands for us. I believe she stands for herself and her big business friends.

Taylor Marsh is a welcome voice for truth!

[sosouthernsofreaky]

I agree. This is a Hillary and Canadian hit job on Obama. My guess is Hillary picked up the phone and told the Canadians that she needed their help and now look

[thecanadianvoice]

Canadians are actually for Ron Paul. Either way, we see yourself shooting yourself in the foot.

[sosouthernsofreaky]

Do you honestly think your gov't officials are rooting for Ron Paul at this stage of the election. Ron Paul doesn't have a chance. If we are shooting ourselves in the foot don't come South! Stay out my country!

[feherman86]

Dear sosouth;

I believe my friend is suggesting that individual Canadians, not the government of Canada; like Ron Paul's view on governance and he comes across as an honest man.

Canadians know just like Americans, Ron Paul will not win.

As far as Americans shooting themselves in the foot, we still have faith in the good people of the United States.

Fred in Toronto.
