http://tinyurl.com/yougvh By "investigating" a leak that some think influenced the defeat of Barack Obama in the Ohio primary last Tuesday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is making a mistake.
There really is nothing to investigate.
If any mistake was made, it was by Obama, by saying in a debate with Hillary Clinton the week before that if he were elected president of the U.S. he would scrap the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), or renegotiate its terms, because it was killing jobs in Ohio.
I watched the de-bate in the United States, and Obama's remark was in response to Hillary's observation that NAFTA was harmful to Ohio. She said her 35 years of experience (as Bill Clinton's wife) would enable her to effect changes that benefit Ohio. Overlooked by both Democratic candidates was that Canada and Mexico are Ohio's biggest trading partners.
China and its low wages and aggressive manufacturing are what hurts jobs and the economy in Ohio.
