Sarah Palin's name been making the rounds for weeks as a prospective ambassador to Canada, and today the White House suggested that it's not outside the realm of possibility.
Palin gave President Trump a shock endorsement last year as the first state, Iowa, prepared to hold its caucus. And she once worked with Canada to construct an oil and gas pipeline in her state.
At the White House's daily briefing Wednesday, a reporter asked if Palin was under consideration to represent the United States' interests north of the border.
'We have no additional ambassador nominations or announcements to make on that front. I'm sure at some point we will have, soon,' press secretary Sean Spicer said....

Take Off, eh ?
Free government housing in Ottawa? Nice work if you can get it.
Sarah Palin would be a most interesting Ambassador to send Justin Trudeau’s way.
I’ve said it before that Palin should be used as a decoy for some useless but important sounding committee “position” within the administration.
The left hates her beyond anything and the media follow and hound her every move. Let her pull the media attention for her “radical statements” in her “useless” position, thus drawing attention away for real things that the administration can get done. i.e. while the media throws some tantrum over some crazy statement she makes, we can quietly pass things through without the media making a stink over it.
Canada is a pretty important position. I say we offer her the position of Ambassador to Cameroon. Amazingly fake news like msnbc and cnn will be setting up shop in the capital of Yaounde writing articles about how she’s ruining our eternal and valuable strategic partnership with a fellow UN country....on and on..........while back at home Trump & Company keep on MAGA.
Sarah will for sure go along with it—she loves playing the media as much as Donald does.
And she’s a hockey fan!
You underestimate Palin. She was a very successful Governor (85% approval), so she has plenty of Executive skills.
Granted, the media have thrown everything they have at her & she would be a distraction in whatever role. However much fun it would be trolling the opposition; Palin merits a more substantive role.
Shouldn’t it be Russia....then she could keep an eye on them from her house?
Did you forget the /sarc tag?
If Caroline Kennedy, with absolutely no real work history or knowledge, could be ambassador to a country as important to us as Japan, I don’t see how Sarah Palin, who worked her way up the governmental ladder in Alaska, could possibly do worse. And her husband and children are all aboriginal/first nations people, which is a big deal in Canada.
Make Sarah our Ambassador to California. Set up a US Embassy in Sacramento with the money saved from sanctuary cities. That will drive the left nuts.
Sarah would be very popular in certain areas of Canada. I'm dreaming of her being US ambassador AND picking up a seat in parliament. I can dream, can't I?
As a Canadian am 100% for it. The insane clown posse Liberal party here headed by Castro lover Justin Trudeau (along with the media organs of propaganda) will go apoplectic with rage. I guarantee you riots and sickening grandstanding in parliament. That should help the conservatives in the next cycle.
She can host events for all those Americans who fled when Trump was elected, maybe even visit a few at random.
Now that’s funny.
She could take Justy Trudeau moose hunting.
I just did some research before posting, yea what a concept.
Three former governors have been Canadian ambassadors since 1979. Ken Curtis of Maine, James Blanchard of Michigan and Paul Cellucci of Massachusetts. The others appear to be a mix of career foreign service and presidential cronies. FDR appointed his cousin and then a career FS guy.
Canadian ambassadors seem to have a short shelf life of less than 4 years although both of Obama’s men served four years.
Interesting theory.
Except, well ...
Name some crazy statements she’s made.
You know, ones that didn’t turn out to be 100% absolutely true.
I agree with you both and I would love to see Palin in the administration. She was the only bright spot in 2008.
unfortunately she attracts the circus wherever she goes so i feel it’s safer to keep her out of the real spotlight as much as possible.
