Joe Biden, the President of the United States, made a surprise appearance in Ottawa today to discuss important issues affecting both the US and Canada. However, it was his humorous comment regarding the Toronto Maple Leafs that created a buzz among the attendees.
In a light-hearted moment, Biden admitted that he dislikes the Maple Leafs for defeating his favorite team, the Philadelphia Flyers, in January. This comment was met with laughter from the audience, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Although seemingly trivial, Biden's comment highlights the fact that even world leaders have personal passions and preferences outside of politics. It's refreshing to see a politician let down their guard and add a touch of humor to a serious conversation.
Ultimately, Biden's visit to Ottawa served to strengthen the strong relationship between the US and Canada. Although his quip about the Maple Leafs may not have been the most crucial part of his visit, it provided a light moment amid a heavy discussion.
