It is all Trump could hope for.

He wants that admiration.

I once gave Obama a standing ovation.

At 12:01 pm, January 20, 2017.

You might say I was commemorating the end of an error.

Heh, heh...heh, heh

And then he tried to dribble and they started calling him " Spaz" and "Dork".

Hopefully they will replace Trudeau with Obama if they like him so much. We can only hope.


Surely Obama's novelty is more celebrated than his disastrous 8 years in the WH.


Maybe they will stop him at the border and not allow him to enter the US because of his use of drugs and treasonous behavior that amounted to lives lost including Canadian lives.

Nice try--you win a copy of the home game as a parting gift
Nice try for you, but you still haven't got it quite right. You did read your link?

You stated that Canadians are subjects to Queen Elizabeth. The answer is still no.

We are considered subjects to the Crown. That is an important difference.

From your link. Notice the difference made between the sovereign/monarch and the crown.

"wherein the role of the Queen is both legal and practical, but not political.[72] The sovereign is vested with all the powers of state, collectively known as the Royal Prerogative,[162] leading the populace to be considered subjects of the Crown.[163] However, as the sovereign's power stems from the people[31][164] and the monarch is a constitutional one, he or she does not rule alone, as in an absolute monarchy. Instead, the Crown is regarded as a corporation sole, with the monarch being the centre of a construct in which the power of the whole is shared by multiple institutions of government[165]—the executive, legislative, and judicial[9]—acting under the sovereign's authority,[115][166] which is entrusted for exercise by the politicians (the elected and appointed parliamentarians and the ministers of the Crown generally drawn from among them) and the judges and justices of the peace.[30] The monarchy has thus been described as the underlying principle of Canada's institutional unity and the monarch as a "guardian of constitutional freedoms"[46][131] whose "job is to ensure that the political process remains intact and is allowed to function."[72]"

The same confusion came up when some Canadian immigrants refused the oath to the Queen to become citizens. They didn't understand that it wasn't the Queen, the person, but the Queen who represents the Crown that they were pledging to.

It's really bad enough to hear or read all these twisted versions of what Obama truly said or did, but reading so many misrepresentations and flat out falsehoods truly demonstrates how far some people will go to promote their shameless ignorant agenda no matter the truth, seemingly without any moral or ethical compass whatsoever! This among Trump's core supporters is truly Trump's strength. The truth simply no longer matters, but the propaganda works for just enough people and that's all that seems to matter to Trump and his supporters...

Q: Did Obama write that he would "stand with the Muslims" and that he nurses a "pervasive sense of grievance and animosity" toward whites?

A: No. A widely circulated e-mail fabricates some quotes from Obama’s books and twists others.

Anyone looking for Barack Obama’s real sentiments about whites, blacks and Muslims won’t find them in this scurrilous collection of falsified, doctored and context-free "quotations."

Truly sickening.

And Donald Trump can't find one person who likes him in his own hometown ! The people of Canada are pretty unbiased, but they know a good man when they see him. Obama is the polar opposite of Donald Trump in every way. Hell, we can't even let Trump go on a nice trip to England without him making a fool of himself !

Trump is like that drunken uncle who you have to invite to Thanksgiving dinner every year, and you keep hoping that "this year he will be different and not cause a scene". But he shows up, and it is a repeat of every other year. Some people simply can not be taken out in public.

What a completely irrational post. Your post makes no sense.

Marijuana is legal in Canada and most of the US.
