President Joe Biden is sending a message to Canadians that he takes global warming very, very seriously — by taking a 75-car motorcade through the capital city of Ottawa.
On Friday, President Biden took a motorcade through the city that forced road closures and transit delays downtown amid heightened security.
The Bidens arrived in Ottawa last night. As reported by CTV, Biden was greeted by a welcoming delegation of officials:
- Gov. Gen. Mary Simon
- Canada’s Ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman
- Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland
- Treasury Board President Mona Fortier
- Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly
- Foreign affairs parliamentary secretaries, Liberal MPs Rob Oliphant and Maninder Sidhu
- United States Ambassador to Canada David Cohen
- Chief of Protocol of Canada Stewart Wheeler
As reported, “Biden will be taken—in his infamous armoured limousine known as ‘The Beast’—to Rideau Cottage to meet with Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau,” CTV noted. “Rideau Cottage is the prime minister’s current residence, located on the grounds at Rideau Hall, approximately seven kilometres northeast of Parliament Hill.”
The U.S. president on Friday will meet with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and is slated to deliver an address to Parliament at 1:50 p.m. Later, Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden will attend a “gala dinner” at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum. The Bidens are scheduled to depart Ottawa later this evening.
The U.S. president had a packed schedule on Friday for the visit to America’s neighbors to the north.
