On the one hand:
"CTV News has learned that within the last month a senior member of the Barack Obama campaign telephoned the Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Wilson. In that call the Obama operative warned the ambassador that NAFTA would become part of the debate in the Democratic primary and that Obama would take some heavy swings at the trade deal, but told the ambassador don’t worry it’s just campaign rhetoric … it’s not serious."
On the other:
Obama Campaign Officials Deny the report.
On the one hand:
CTV (Canadian TV) then reports that the conversation on this matter was held between Obama's senior economic adviser, Austan Goolsbee, and the Canadian Consulate General in Chicago.
On the other hand:
Obama Campaign Officials Deny the report and insist that no conversations have taken place with any of its senior ranks and representatives of the Canadian government on the NAFTA issue.
On the one hand:
On Thursday night, CTV spoke with Goolsbee, but he refused to say whether he had such a conversation with the Canadian government office in Chicago. He also said he has been told to direct any questions to the campaign headquarters.
On the other hand:
Obama Campaign Officials Deny that Goolsbee is a senior adviser to the Obama campaign.
And, finally, a bird in the hand:
