... The Republican nominee for President is John McCain. Hooray. This should have happened 8 years ago. On the Democrats sides, its even more up in the air. HIlary managed to squeak out wins in Ohio and Texas. No thanks to the Canadian Foreign Affairs office. Yes, Canada has meddled in the American democratic process.
For those who don't know, someone in the Canadian government leaked a memo to the Clinton campaign, that there was a meeting with Obama's advisers regarding the NAFTA issue. The memo essentially stated that Obama's position on renegotiations is simply posturing and should be taken with a grain of salt. Essentially, the memo screwed over Obama in Ohio where NAFTA is a huge issue. Furthermore, it allowed Clinton to tighten up the race and have the Democrats continue to fight in the late April.
This is bad. Really bad. This is probably the worst thing a foreign government could do to another country. Its like Bush coming to Canada and saying that he supports Stephen Dion for Prime Minister in the next general election. Now, that would really change the political landscape. Support for Dion would probably take a hit because everyone hates Bush.
There is one positive. Its nice to know that Obama knows where Canada is ...
