"The conversation turned to the pledges to renegotiate the North American free-trade agreement made by the two Democratic contenders, Mr. Obama and New York Senator Hillary Clinton.

Mr. Brodie, apparently seeking to play down the potential impact on Canada, told the reporters the threat was not serious, and that someone from Ms. Clinton's campaign had even contacted Canadian diplomats to tell them not to worry because the NAFTA threats were mostly political posturing."

That she may be lying, or that she may be lying about NAFTA?

We have had 15 years of history to look at the economic ramifications of NAFTA and to see if all the signatories have fulfilled their ends of the agreement. It is time to give it a good hard review and see it there needs to be a somewhat more equitable arrangement that is more in line with American expectations.
