Today is a special day for Canada and it has nothing to do with hockey or Pam Anderson. President Barack Obama will be making his first foreign visit since taking over the White House and he will be spending a few hours in Ottawa (the capital of Canada).

It is a working trip where Obama will have talks with the Prime Minister Stephen Harper and he will also meet the Governor General and the Leader of the Opposition, philosopher Michael Ignatieff.

We know he fully intends on talking about the economy, free trade and a bunch of other global issues, but what happens when there is that awkward silence and Obama needs some small talk?

Well we have come up with 10 things that he can use to lighten up the mood in any room and show the Canadians that he has been doing his homework about the good neighbours to the north.

1. Where can I meet Bob and Doug?

2. Why does your version of the NFL only have three downs (and where can I meet Doug Flutie?)

3. That Emmanuelle Chriqui is one fine piece of Canadian ass eh Prime Minister?

4. I don’t get hockey, can someone help me understand the point and why does it not look like Slap Shot?

5. Is Alex Trebek really Canadian? Seems a little too smart not to be a yank.

6. Why did Canada make A-Rod take the juice?

7. So this is the place that created my cool little Blackberry?

8. Are you going to stick with that coin you call a Loonie?

9. When do we get to wear a beaver hat?

10. How about joining us and making one giant-ass country?

Got others you think would go over well for Obama’s visit to Canada?

Have a great visit Mr. President and please come back again and again and help us fix our problems
