U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden will visit Ottawa next week to meet with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the country’s premiers to discuss the Canada-U.S. relationship before the Trump administration takes over early next year.

Mr. Biden is scheduled to visit Ottawa on Dec. 8 and 9 to meet with Mr. Trudeau and attend an official dinner in his honour, the Prime Minister’s Office said.

“I look forward to meeting with Vice-President Biden and discussing the strength of our two countries’ relationship,” Mr. Trudeau said in a statement.

“Canada has had no closer friend, partner, and ally than the U.S., and our relationship with our neighbour to the south is critical to citizens on both sides of the border.”

1. Ties, eh?

2. Negotiating how many of us Canada will take in?

5. We can hope

3. This doesn't mean a thing.

Come January 20th, everything will be turned upside down. But oh how I wish Biden would have run in the primaries. He had the working-class cred that Hillary lacked, and he had the the experience and stature that Bernie (sadly) lacked.

4. Yes. But I'm guessing the Democrats and Canada are in for a closer

relationship as we rely on each other in these trying times.
