Joe Biden Says :Michelle Obama Is The Finest First Lady In U.S History And Melania Will Never Become Such A Perfect And Intelligent First Lady As Michelle Obama. Do You Support?



TORONTO — Two prominent figures in U.S. politics are north of the border for separate speaking engagements in Toronto Tuesday.


Former first lady Michelle Obama will be speaking about education and equality for girls and women around the world at an event hosted by the Economic Club of Canada and Plan International Canada.


Later in the day, former vice-president Joe Biden will be the headline speaker for a conference called The Art of Leadership.


Dozens of ticket holders — most of them young women — filled the atrium of Ryerson University’s Mattamy Athletic Centre in anticipation of Obama’s appearance Tuesday morning.


“I’m excited to hear her talk about education and women’s equality, (topics) I’m really interested in learning more about,” said Karen Zhuang, a high school student from Toronto.


 “She’s always been a role model for me.”


Kanwarpreet Karwal, a Plan Canada youth ambassador and fourth-year life sciences student at McMaster University said it was inspiring to see so many young people turn up, hoping to create change.


“I’m just excited to learn whatever I (can) take away and implement in my life so that I can make a positive contribution in this world,” Karwal said.


The Economic Club of Canada has said the former first lady will be participating in a “fireside chat-style” conversation at the event that is closed to the media.


The organization’s president and CEO have said a number of tickets purchased for the event were to be donated to a young person between the ages of 14 and 24, with young people across the country able to apply to attend through a site set up by Plan International Canada.


Rebecca Frost, a second-year student from Queen’s University, was one of those who had applied for a ticket and said she looked forward to Obama’s take on the economics of gender equality.“She’s an inspiring woman,” Frost said of the former first lady. “She just has a lot of wisdom to share.”


The Obama-Biden visits are the latest in a string of trips north by well-known American politicians.


Former Democratic presidential nominee and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton were in Montreal last month to promote her new book. She also spoke in Toronto in September and is scheduled to speak in Vancouver on Dec. 13.


Her husband, former president Bill Clinton, also visited Montreal last month to discuss the Canada-U.S. relationship with former prime minister Jean Chretien, and U.S Senator Bernie Sanders was at the University of Toronto last month to heap praise on Canada’s health care system.

Actor Clint Eastwood Makes Massive Announcement: “Hollywood Is The Place Of Traitors And Pedophilians, This Morning I’ve Decided To Leave This Awful Place And Fight Against Traitors With Real American Patriots With President Trump.” Do You Stand With Clint ? Legendary actor and film director Clint Eastwood told a crowd at the Cannes Film Festival Sunday that political correctness is killing the entertainment industry. The Western film icon, who was visiting the festival in southern France for a 25th anniversary screening of his 1992 film “Unforgiven,” said America’s obsession with political correctness started around the time of the release of his 1971 movie “Dirty Harry,” to The Hollywood Reporter. “It was far-out at that time, so I brought it to [director] Don [Siegel], and he liked it,” Mr. Eastwood said. “A lot of people thought it was politically incorrect. That was at the beginning of the era that we’re in now with political correctness. We are killing our...

RIGHT AS MIKE PENCE’S SON GETS MARRIED, DEMOCRAT DOES SOMETHING TOTALLY UNHINGED

Democrats are so negative they try to ruin everything and make it about them. Vice President Mike Pence’s son Marine Corps. Second Lt. Michael Pence planned a marriage ceremony to Sarah Whiteside on Saturday and one Democrat activist and local school board member could not handle it. Sue Wazner took to Facebook on Wednesday to complain about the ceremony, which was to take place in a local Indiana park, saying it would disrupt regular park operations. She posted: The bizarre, mean-spirited post had no basis in reality. The ceremony was to be extremely small and private, and the park’s property manager stated: “The fact that the vice president will be here will not impact our regular visitors.” Michael Pence and Sarah Whiteside were married in December of last year during a legal ceremony, which would accommodate the marine’s travel schedule. The event Saturday will be a ceremonial celebration of their nuptials. Mike Pence’s daughter, Charlotte Pence, posted...

Actor Keanu Reeves: “For Me Trump Is The Symbol Of A Successful Man And A Role Model For Every Young American, Something That Our Nation Was Looking For Years.I Don’t Think That America Will Again Have A Leader Like Him,”Do You Support Him? When Keanu Reeves was filming Speed, in 1993, he spent every spare minute learning lines in his trailer. These lines weren’t from the film he was working on – as Jack Traven, the SWAT officer who takes control of a bomb-laden bus, Reeves didn’t have a great deal to say – but from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, a well-thumbed copy of which he would carry around on set. His day job was zooming through Los Angeles with a flustered Sandra Bullock and a coachload of screaming extras. Monologuing as the tragic Prince of Denmark, on the other hand, was me-time. “I finished playing Jack, went into the trailer, and, you know – ‘How all occasions do inform against me,/ And spur my dull revenge’,” he says, reeling off the opening few lin...
