OTTAWA -- Former U.S. president Barack Obama has waded into the Canadian election, offering an unusual cross-border endorsement of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau with five days left in the campaign.

“I was proud to work with Justin Trudeau as President. He's a hard-working, effective leader who takes on big issues like climate change. The world needs his progressive leadership now, and I hope our neighbors to the north support him for another term,” said Obama in a tweet sent Wednesday.

Minutes after it was posted, a spokesperson for U.S. President Donald Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign called it “foreign election interference,” but according to Elections Canada, “all individuals, Canadian or non-Canadian, are free to express their views on any topic during an election."

Liberal Party spokesperson Zita Astravas said the Liberal Party did not pay for this endorsement, but has not yet confirmed whether the party had asked for the support or was aware that it was coming.

That sinks Justin campaign. Kiss of death.

Well there is one theory that he was born in Canada. Not saying it’s true but it’s out there.

Meanwhile Hussein has done jack shiite endorsements and tweets for his VP Joe Biden. My guess is Hussein is too busy pursuing the down low “It’s raining men” in the NetFlix head quarters.

Trudeau is a drama teacher by education and career experience.

And he is a drama queen as Prime Minister of Canada.Witness his recent self serving elevation in the press as he was surrounded by an RCMP protective detail in SWAT gear with Justin wearing a bullet prove vest on camera.

That’s just how stupid drama queen Justin Trudeau is. Now he does not realize that every would be assassin is now planning a head shot rather than a torso shot. Justin just reduced his chances of surviving an assassination attempt to near zero.

That’s what we have as a PM in Canada, and effin’ stupid, publicity centric,” All the world is my stage,” drama Queen. Most Canadians hate him.

He has to go!.
