$\"Gravatar\"$ \"The story has gone through several different versions. In its original form, CTV said that a \"top staffer\" from the Obama campaign had telephoned the Canadian ambassador to warn him that the candidate would soon be speaking out against NAFTA, the 1993 free trade agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The staffer allegedly told the ambassador that \"the criticisms would only be campaign rhetoric and should not be taken at face value.\"

The Canadian embassy in Washington flatly denied the story, and Obama repeated the embassy's denials. It now turns out that, while there were errors in the original CTV story, a senior Obama campaign staffer did talk about NAFTA with a senior Canadian diplomat\"

\"The Facts

The official Canadian report on the Feb. 8 meeting, leaked to the Associated Press over the weekend, presents a much more nuanced account of what took place than the story being retold by the Clinton campaign. It shows that Goolsbee talked about the need for a limited renegotiation of the NAFTA agreement, \"in favour of strengthening/clarifying language on labour mobility and environment and trying to establish these as more `core' principles of the agreement.\" This is consistent with what Obama has been saying about NAFTA on the campaign trail.
