Well he'll be here for a grand total of 6 hours - touch down to lift off. all business. the only canadian to see him will be the p.m. from what it sounds like..
The 'beast' arrived yesterday and a bunch of secret service have been in ottawa all week readying the city for his arrival. there's a gazillion police on duty for the route to/from the airport and air traffic has been stopped for the day. i can't imagine how much $$ has been spent for a 6 hour 'hi y'all, how ya doin', but we'll be polite while he's here, listen attentively, maybe even have something to say about a few things and make sure he gets safely back home..
