A warm Canadian greeting

The CBC is offering a live stream of commentary on President Barack Obama’s visit to Ottawa.

One of the network’s experienced news hands commented that – compared to visits by past U.S. presidents – security is tighter and the crowd trying to catch a glimpse of Obama is much larger.

He then added, “The only danger seems to be if the crowd got their hands on Obama, they’d cuddle him to death.”

The President has a popularity rating around 80 percent among Canadians, much higher than the nation’s Prime Minister, Stephen Harper.

More updates to come.
