Joe Biden Roasts a Canadian NHL Team in Parliament Hill
US President Joe Biden made a surprise appearance in Ottawa today, however, it was his humorous comment about the Toronto Maple Leafs that caught everyone's attention.
In a moment of light-heartedness, Biden admitted that he doesn't like the Maple Leafs because they defeated his favorite team, the Philadelphia Flyers, in January. The comment elicited a wave of laughter from the audience, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Biden's remark may seem inconsequential, but it highlights the fact that even world leaders have personal interests and allegiances outside of politics. It's refreshing to see a politician let their guard down and inject a bit of humor into a serious discussion.
In the end, Biden's visit to Ottawa was an opportunity to reinforce the strong bond between the US and Canada. While his quip about the Maple Leafs may not have been the most crucial aspect of his visit, it served as a lighthearted moment amidst an otherwise serious conversation.
