Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton never gave Canada any secret assurances about the future of NAFTA such as those allegedly offered by Barack Obama's campaign, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office said Friday.
With the NAFTA affair swirling over the U.S. election and Canadian officials skittish about saying anything else that might influence the race, it took the PMO two days to deliver the information.

Another Clinton LIE.
Attagirl, Hillary! It's what you do best!
One thing is clear. The Neocons intentionally pulled a dirty trick by putting out a false statement that was designed tgo harm Obama.It was timed for maximum damage. The correction and appology one day after the voting will not undo that damage. But one should expect such behavior from the type. We have seen the dishonest Bush administration work. WMDs, anyone? Harper is a Bush clone.
And this Harper/Brodie/Hillary Cheat tellsd the story. What I cannot understand is how the voters could be fooled so,even with our media spreading the lie. (Why haven't they been getting the truth out now?) My Mother used to tell me that before I reacted to somethinmg said, I should consider the source. It was obvious from the first instant that this was a frame up. But it worked and Hillary got that 10 point boost. And then the media played on that to gain her some bandwagon jumpers and a big rise in polls. And yet there are those who wonder about the anger and hate this objectionable bunch create. I have this to say to theCanadian PMO: keep your damned appology, it isn't honest anyway. And that vacationI was planning to spend in your country, well it's off. You don't get my money.
Canada, you are a better country than your giverrnment. I hope mine is too. But it won't ber if Hillary hgas her way.
If that crook is nominated, the party is dead as far as I am concerned.
What happened to the Canadian people??
Are they now drinking the same water as Americans? What is it that made that liberal country elect a clone of Bush?
This interference by the Canadian government to try to bolster one candidate over the other is very disconcerting.
That little lie and dirty trick played by the Harper administration is a despicable act of terror against our process and should not go unpunished.
The whole world knew that a loss in OH and TX would spell the end of Hillary and her sleazy campaign, but these Rovian tricks will not work in the long run, not this time.
Sequoiabison:
Your need to accuse Canada of lying just demonstrates the depths the Obama camp sinks to in this farce of an election.
I used to really believe in what the US stood for and considered it a shining example the rest of the world could follow. That is no longer the case by any stretch of the imagination.
Between the lies and bias and non stop commericals MSNBC and CNN run for Obama - with their hand picked anti Hillary pundits, spewing ridiculous and warped anti Clinton commentaries - and the Obama posters cut and pasting the same dirty hype all over the net... it's evident, all credibility, honor, dignity and justice... no longer exist in America. That dream has become a myth - the Keith Obermans and entire CNN 'best political team on television' pretend to spout. They are an embaressment to every ethical and credible journalist out there and a shameful testament of how and why the Republicans were able to steal the last two elections.
What I see the Obama supporters write on these pages are also what I hear on MSNBC and CNN... and that's very shameful indeed. Who would have thought things could sink to Soviet Style levels in US media. It makes one think that everything else the public has been fed about news around the world from MSM is a great big lie.
The Canadian Government, not the Canadian people pulled this rotten stunt. Their current PM is a Bush clone. But I doubt that you care. It helped your dear Hillary stay alive and destructive. But explain why that Librul media you speak of was so eager to jump on the lie but so silent onthe correction and "appology"?
Can you maintain that myth under these circumstances?
Okay...now I'm SURE that apologies from the Obama camp will be forthcoming. Right??? Yeah, right!!!
Troll, they won't apologize because in the eyes of his supporters whatever he does is ok. Everyone but the Obama camp is a liar, they hate everyone, so far they hate the Canadians, they are liars, the Scots, nasty country that produces bad journalists, they hate anyone who supports Hillary Clinton, they hate SNL and have threatened to kill Tina Fey, poor Jack Nicholson is on thier hate list, his crime, he did a commercial supporting her. Can you believe how unamerican that is, choosing a candidate other than Obama. Hey on the plus side, they now like Tucker Carlson because he defended Obama after his adviisor called Clinton a monster. There is such a lack of ethics on the part of the Obama campaign and all his supporters. Now we aren't even allowed to vote for Clinton, there's a petition to have her removed from the race. Is it in the constitution that we elimate people by petition. I know I won't be voting for Obama, he seems to inspire a lot of hate in people, and I want no part of it. I've heard a lot of other democrats say the same thing. Obama supporters can spew all the hate and violence they want, we'll see what happens in the general, it is going to come back to bite them big time.
I myself saw Bill Clinton on Tv giving a speech for a Canadian fund raiser 2 days before the NAFTA fiasco broke.I was truly hoping someone would connect the dots.
And, he was eating spaghetti so he must be Italian. Please!
Clinton supporter's do you really trust her? Do you really want to give your hard earned money to someone who has 5 million of her own money laying around and refuses to disclose where it came from? In hard economic times does it make sense to give up your money to the person telling you she will fix everything while simultaneously and without shame publicly pleaing for donations to her web campaign? When is the last time you heard Obama in an interview or debate on national TV hype up and plug his website and beg for donations? Hasn't happened because he doesn't need to, because his movement is real and his supporters are no sheep. Without being desperate he has shattered every fundraising record in history. I literally feel sorry and sick in my stomach knowing you people are kind enough to send your money to the Clinton's while they pretend to need it. Wake up folks it's over, don't give those crooks anymore of your money. The superdelegates will never choose her over Obama now because this is America and everything comes down to $$$. He is now the single most powerfull money raiser in the Democratic party even bigger than Bill himself. That means more than anything else to them because that means that new money makes the democratic party as a whole that much stronger in all the down ticket elections that lead to house and senate majorities which is exactly what they are chasing. If Hillary can't manage to do it fair and square by the numbers she's done. The math say's she's got less than a shot in hell.
Dear Friends,

"Obama Supporters Who Will Not Vote For Clinton in November"
hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition

http://www.PetitionOnline.com/obama725/
I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might
agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider

Best wishes,
Mike Willette
Der Friends:
Let's start a petition to have Obama vetted as Hillary and every other candidate has been.
Let's start a petition to have Howard Dean resign for deliberately denying Floridian voters their constitutional rights!
Let's start a petition to have Obama vetted as Hillary and every other candidate has been.
Let's start a petition to have the MSM pundits and reporters who skew the truth and demonstrate bias toward any candidate fired immediately, for deliberately misleading the public.
Let's start a petition to return America to the democracy it once was.
Let's start a petition to charge any reporter commentator or pundit, who knowingly and irresponsibly and deliberately defames a candidate , with criminal conduct.
Let's insist on the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth from MSM who have a trusted responsibility to report the truth and nothing but!
Bill gets big money for speeches, I think Hillary got $8 million for her book, Bill got even more than that for his book. Bill has probably earned at least $50 million in the last 7 years.
hank.....:
And Michelle and Barrack got millions from the sick and poor in Chicago, from the non profit hospital Michelle works for; where they charged the sick, poor and uninsured 3 times the going rate.... with prescriptions at 500% over the going price; with that same hospital donating hundreds of thousands to Obama's campaign; with Obama arranging a $200,000.00 a year raise for Michelle right after he got elected. Let's start with that...
And then ask about all the lies that haven't been addressed... by the zombie press.
Dear Hillary Clinton supporters,
We forgive you. Just as we forgive those who supported Bush twice. In fact thank you because like the people who were ignorant enough to vote for Bush your ignorance now only lends to fan the flames of Obama and his 1 million strong coalition of individual Americans. Yes we Can! and Yes we Will! Take our country and governtment back from the brink of collapse brought on by politicans who exploit fear and ignorance to pad the pockets of the special interests and lobbyists who bought they're ticket. Well unlike Clinton and Mccain nonbody but we the true patriots of America, it's people, own Obama's ticket. So keep up your blind sheep ignorance for it only awakens our democracy more. The American people cannot and have never been defeated. Unite 08/ Obama 08
Who asked you for your forgiveness. We'll see how far you go in the general without normal democrats who don't spew hate and violence. Politics of hope and change, what a joke, read your post....asshole, politics of hate and destruction is more like it. Who nominated you god, people who support other candidates don't need your forgiveness, this is America, we can choose who we vote for you brainwashed freak!
Note: to energized, aggrieved Women boomers -- you were treated unfairly and taken for granted all of your lives, that is undeniable and reprehensible .. for the families you loved, the children you reared, the indiscretions you tolerated, you deserved more ... buth *this candidate, *this woman* is NOT the right representative to salve the pain. this is not how you behaved as you rose above it all ... this is not presendential
when you cut and past, don't forget to include that it is Clintons that signed NAFTA and have close ties in Canada, and Bill Clinton was here the week the accusations came out about Senator Obama. Senator Obama has nothing apologize for. In addition, there is an error on Huffington Posting of the Global & Mail article, PLEASE THE PRINT SLOWLY IT IS THE PMO (PRIME MINISTER OFFICE) AND NOT THE PRIME MINISTER (PM) AS STATED IN THE ARTICLE. Harper is not quoted in the Article a spokesperson is. Wow, emotions should not take the place of good judgement SLOW DOWN READ CAREFULLY...UNTIL HARPER STATES THE CLINTONS ARE NOT INVOLVE TO PARLIAMENT THEY ARE STILL SUSPECTS. BILL CLINTON SIGNED NAFTA WITH OUR CURRENT GOVERNMENT THE CONSERVATIVES. I LIVE IN CANADA AND THE CANADIAN PEOPLE ARE VERY UPSET THE HARPER'S INTERFERENCE, AND HE WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH IT. The that the US media has not investigated this story, and just ran the accusations made against Senator Obama, is truly the American Peoples lost...it has something to do with Senatoro Obama, but it speaks more about how much there is blurring between tabloid journalism and legitimate news...AMERICANS THE WORLD IS WATCHING!!!
yeah, and are they laughing!
MaureenS:
You are just plain stupid.
The PMO's office IS the official word of the PM. PM, PMO, get it?
Anyway, it isn't who outed him, it's that he did it. As they admitted themselves.
Thanks for your note, I appreciate it. I Appreciate it so much that I have copied it and will be sending it out across Pennsylvania to all my partner's family and friends, all the local blogs I can find, a news outlet or two perhaps, to let everyone know just how Obama brings people together, to show them the message from his most ardent of supports.
I, and the rest of the Clinton supporters here, thank you for taking the time to put your fingers to keyboard and let us all know what team Obama is really all about.
Brian (with a smile)
BUSH+CLINTON+CLINTON+BUSH+BUSH = 20 years of selling out the American middle class; remember when your parents were able to live on one salary? That was in the 1970s. Wake up and smell the coffee. You're getting sold the same sh*t , just in a different package .. yet you keep voting against your interests ...
"we want someone who will kick some republican ass .... aaaaargh!" .. perhaps what you really want is a leader who can move the country forward through intelligence, personality, and temperament ...
Someone chanting "Yes we can" and "yes we will" accuses the rest of us of being sheep. Hysterical!!!
Note: to energized, aggrieved Women boomers -- you were treated unfairly and taken for granted all of your lives, that is undeniable and reprehensible .. for the families you loved, the children you reared, the indiscretions you tolerated, you deserved more ... buth *this candidate, *this woman* is NOT the right representative to salve the pain. this is not how you behaved as you rose above it all ... this is not presendential
Women are by nature emotional creatures and many of them are caught up in this moment and rightfully so. They will come around when Obama wins the popular vote fair and square, they will come around when Obama wins the pledged delegate count, they will come around when Obama wins twice as many states as Clinton and they will come around because he has done it with relative class and in all fairness sticking to all rules layed out ahead of time. However most of Obama's supporters cannot and will not accept Clinton unless she manages to actually win this thing straight up. Unless they re-do real primaries or caucuses in Florida or Michigan and she wins by landslides she will never mathmatically get there. She has about a 5% reality based chance at pulling this off fairly or face revolt. Clinton supporter's do you really trust her? Do you really want to give your hard earned money to someone who has 5 million of her own money laying around and refuses to disclose where it came from? In hard economic times does it make sense to give up your money to the person telling you she will fix everything while simultaneously and without shame publicly pleaing for donations to her web campaign? When is the last time you heard Obama in an interview or debate on national TV hype up and plug his website and beg for donations?

skidz12:
The crook is Obama. Just ask his buddy Rezko.
hahah .. nice argument .. would it surprise you if Rezko's co-defendants gave the Clinton's a lot of money? It should not, they did.
I sure as heck trust her over a guy who in his speech says people need to be retrained to 'compete in a global economy, when they'd be competing with people making 30 cents an hour. And, get your kids to read, ie get an education, when those days have been practically destroyed and are all but gone by the 'free-market' nuts. I don't trust him based on what he says. There's more, but I will just urge you to really listen to what he is saying. Not on how he's making you feel.
The Clintons turned the PNACers away at the door of the White House. At least they did do that for their country.
Seriously? BUSH+CLINTON+CLINTON+BUSH+BUSH = 20 years of selling out the American middle class; r WTO (Trade with China) was essentially *complete* 22 years ago in 1986 -- 20 years divided by 22 years = 90% .. B-C-C-B-B are responsible for 90% of the ills of WTO and yet you still vote against your own economic interests .? I just don't understand.
Remember when you/your parents were able to live on one salary? That was in the 1970s. Wake up and smell the coffee. You're getting sold the same crap , just in a different package .. yet you keep voting against your interests ...
"we want someone who will kick some republican ass .... aaaaargh!" .. perhaps what you really want is a leader who can move the country forward through intelligence, personality, and temperament ... or at the very least -- something *different*
And, if you are an aggrieved , jilted woman who came of age in the 60s and 70s -- you were treated unfairly and taken for granted all of your lives, that is undeniable and reprehensible .. for the families you loved, the children you reared, the indiscretions you tolerated, you deserved more ... buth *this candidate, *this woman* is NOT the right representative to salve the pain. this is not how you behaved as you rose above it all ... this is not presendential
Oh for Godsake. And men don't get emotionally charged up about politics? Your post is certainly not an example of cold, rational logic. I'm not saying you don't have valid points to make, but your comments are all over the place....don't give the Clintons any more money...having lots of campaign money is bad because you can buy influence...Obama has lots of campaign funds...so that's good...Wahhh????
