Looks like our northern neighbors are <a href="http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/03/03/america/NA-POL-US-Democrats-Trade.php" target="_blank">mucking up the Obama campaign</a> nice and good. This story apparently didn't play very well for Obama among Ohio Democrats which have been strongly anti-NAFTA in recent years.

Something very strange here. Our PM is protecting his chief of staff who may not have leaked the memo, but was obviously talking about it to the press.

For starters, "sound economic policy" implies a level playing field.

To the point, the jobs in Ohio haven't been lost to Canada or Mexico. It's China...

Jobs haven't been lost to China.<br>
Jobs have been lost to technology making certain skills redundant and those skilled workers incapable or unwilling to update their skills to compete.

 

[Horrible Peanut]

I don't see how this relates to a level playing field. Care to explain?

 

[Mrtambalynman]

I'm surprised that NAFTA is still an issue.

 

[ElDuderino]

Interesting that Obama is taking a hit over NAFTA because of this memo, but it was the Clinton Administration that signed it into law (and as a Senator, Hillary Clinton has supported it in subsequent years).
