It’s ‘TruBama’ Time!
President Barack Obama, on Thursday, fixed the cracked relationship with Canada by hosting a lavish White House Welcome for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family.
Trudeau, 44, the left-leaning Liberal Party leader and son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was elected Prime Minister last November.
Obama raved about Justin being a man after his own heart. “He campaigned on a message of hope and of change. His positive and optimistic vision is inspiring young people. So, from my perspective, what’s not to like?”
Let’s see how ‘Trudeaumania’ unfolded since the Canadian family’s arrival in Washington.
Celebrities Spotted
Michael J Fox, Mike Myers, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Sandra Oh and The Weeknd were a few celebrities that made it to this historical night.

‘TruBama’ Get Distracted By a Cute Baby

BFF’s
How cute is this? America’s First Lady Michelle Obama and Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau, wife of Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, look like they’ve been best friends for as long as they can remember.
Hockey Talk
President Obama goofed around with Prime Minister Trudeau about how Canada and America cannot see eye-to-eye on certain matters such as:
- Who’s beer is better?
- Who’s better at Hockey?
And when PM Trudeau shook his head and said, “don’t get me started”. President Obama with a smirk on his face asked, “Where is the Stanley Cup right now? I’m sorry, is it in my hometown with the Chicago Blackhawks?”
Only good friends would talk to each other like that.
