Reply #52: "The Clinton campaign may have given a similar warning." from OP's link [View All]

Would you all please read the OP's link before starting the daily scream fest?

"Low level sources also suggested that the Clinton campaign may have given a similar warning to Ottowa, but a Clinton spokesperson flatly denied the claim."

Throughout the article we don't see any names as to which individuals (from both Obama and Clinton campaigns)are alleged to have passed along said warnings. The claims re each campaign have no back up. It's hearsay piled on hearsay.

Finally, I can't see any advantage to either campaign in talking to the Canadian govt. about this at this point in time. It would be all risk and no gain. There is no urgency involved re relations with Canada; there are no votes to be lost or gained in Canada; and it's not as if the Canadians are going to freak out and storm the border at the thought that the US would exercise its 6 month opt out provision if NAFTA was not renegotiated.
