Video Barack Obama thanks Cape Breton for welcoming Americans fleeing Donald Trump

U.S. president gives Nova Scotia a shout-out during toast at White House state dinner

Cape Breton, Barack Obama salutes you.

The U.S. president mentioned the island by name Thursday night at a White House state dinner honouring Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

In his toast, Obama paid tribute to the values that the U.S. and Canada share.

"Where else would we see a community like Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, welcoming Americans if the election does not go their way?" Obama told the White House dinner guests.

He went on to thank the Canadians — Nova Scotians among them — who welcomed stranded American travellers into their homes on Sept. 11, 2001.

Obama also mentioned the people of New Brunswick by name while poking fun at Donald Trump's plan to build a wall across the Mexico-U.S. border.

"To the great credit of their people, Canadians from British Columbia to New Brunswick have, so far, rejected the idea of building a wall to keep out your southern neighbours," he said.

"We appreciate that. We can be unruly, I know."

Zippy should shut his mouth. Trump is going to have access to all the information that is classified very soon.

I finally agree with Obama on something!

Never thought I'd see the day.

Let all the ingrates, the celebritards, the violent KKK-esque blacklivesmatter folks, the onesie boys, the zhes, and the sex-witholding shrikes against Trump go there.

Require each one to bring a mojado under each arm!

I can’t wait to see President Trump throwing Barack and Hillary in prison for political corruption.

It’s a safe enough snark. Not one of the hyperventilating liberals who claim they’re leaving will do a single thing except bitch incessantly. It’s all they know how to do.

Obama, once a slime ball always a slime ball.
Where are all the Canadians going to go fleeing from the leftist Trudeau?

I can’t imagine any previous president, even the execrable Clinton, thanking a foreign country for being willing to take in American expats because they disagreed with the will of the voters. But then we never had an unAmerican president before.

It’s my understanding that they’ve got a beautiful mansion built for them in Hawaii, paid for by millionaire FOB such as Toni Preckwinkle.

I believe we have more laws than we need. If we never wrote another one, that’d probably be fine. That said, I propose one last law:

Anyone who says they’re going to leave the country if (X) wins an election has to leave if (X) wins that election. We’re better off losing anyone who thinks that way. Addition by subtraction.

Let’s see. A TEMPORARY problem that was solved by opening a home. That is a little different than throwing the door of the house open to every jihadi, rapist, and criminal that wants to figure out how to take advantage of you in your home.
