Jim Watson, the mayor of Ottawa, Canada, urged the Toronto Raptors to visit the Canadian Parliament instead of the White House after the team won the NBA Finals this week.
Watson called on Prime Minister Trudeau to invite the team to the countrys Parliament in an online post on Friday.
Forget the White House for a victory lap. Come to Ottawa and Parliament Hill so Canada can congratulate you, Watson wrote.
It is unclear whether the White House plans to invite the championship team for visit to meet President Trump.

Via Google. The 1993 Canadiens did not go to Washington, nor did a number of subsequent champions during the Clinton administration.
A note of congrats would be appropriate and nice; a WH visit would not.
Well, of course they should be invited to their own capital first, but if Trump invites them, they should go.
You know, I bet when Real Hitler threw a party, people showed up. The same damn type of people who fear getting Trump Cooties now.
So irritating.
are there any Canadians on the Rapters team??
Good. Then we won’t be out the expense of hosting them.
Friggin Trudeau was at the celebration today - Hamming it up - what a fool
good grief - they actually have Trudeau speaking now
Did he have both eyebrows?
