Oh! Canada!

How could you? It now appears that the Harper regime in Ottawa may have made up, a construction out of whole cloth, as it were, the story that the Obama campaign contacted the Canadian ambassador to say "ignore me on NAFTA -- I don't mean it".
According to the CBC, it now appears that the Harper crowd contacted Obama's campaign, deliberately leaked an inaccurate representation of what the campaign said. "Don't worry, Obama is not a protectionist" became "ignore what I say, I'm just saying it to get elected".
I'm disgusted in the government of the country I have in the past called home. I don't blame the country, but I do blame the Tories.

Yours, cursing the harpies,
