Before a rapturous Canadian House of Commons on Wednesday, President Barack Obama grappled with the cascade of grim and chaotic news — with Orlando and Istanbul, Brexit and what he called an "increasingly strained" international order that is "riven by old divisions and fresh hatreds."

If we dump Obama on Canada would it be considered an act of war?

Canada has been free-loading on the US for far too long. Trump is right! Make ‘em pay!

Obama is sucking the oxygen out of Hillary's campaign. Most presidents stay out of the limelight to give their parties candidate as much as possible, but not Obama.

Keep it up Barak!

Every Canadian is technically a North-American but the term American is in general use reserved for U.S. Citizens.
