From NBC's Domenico Montanaro

Per the Toronto Globe and Mail, in a story that was the lead on the paper's front page today, that call to the Canadian embassy was actually from the Clinton campaign, not Obama's

part 2 : Globe & Mail article

"Mr. [Ian] Brodie, [PM Harper's chief of staff], during the media lockup for the Feb. 26 budget, stopped to chat with several journalists, and was surrounded by a group from CTV. The conversation turned to the pledges to renegotiate the North American free-trade agreement made by the two Democratic contenders, Mr. Obama and New York Senator Hillary Clinton.

part 3 : Globe & Mail article

"Mr. Brodie, apparently seeking to play down the potential impact on Canada, told the reporters the threat was not serious, and that someone from Ms. Clinton's campaign had even contacted Canadian diplomats to tell them not to worry because the NAFTA threats were mostly political posturing. The Canadian Press cited an unnamed source last night as saying that several people overheard the remark.

Part 4 : Globe & Mail article

"The news agency quoted that source as saying that Mr. Brodie said that someone from Ms. Clinton's campaign called and was 'telling the embassy to take it with a grain of salt.'

It was reported on CBC this morning that it was the CLINTON CAMPAIGN that spoke to Canadian officials with regard to renegotiating NAFTA - NOT the Obama campaign. Given the accusations made against Obama, I hope the truth will now come out. Hilary has something to answer for.

Hopefully folks from Ohio realize that if Obama messes with NAFTA, their 18 BILLION in exports to Canada (and that's just from Ohio alone!) would be in jeopardy! It's in the best interests of the U.S. to find a president that isn't going to undo all the good that NAFTA has brought to the U.S.

Obama is spend 5 times more than Hillary. The experts will tell you whoever spends more money is more likely to win. Obama is getting a lot of money from someone!
