United States President Joe Biden is set to deliver a speech to Parliament on Friday, becoming the ninth president to address Canadians in Ottawa. Here's a look back at past presidential speeches and the eras that defined them.
Then-U.S. president Harry S. Truman walks with then-prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King in Ottawa, in November 1947. Truman addressed Parliament during the post-war era, when he pushed for the building of both countries' military defence and trade, adding that they jointly “face the future unafraid” as they uphold peace around the world.
“Beyond the shadow of the atomic cloud, the horizon is bright with promise. No shadow can halt our advance together. For we, Canada and the United States, shall use carefully and wisely the God-given graces of faith and reason as we march together toward it--toward the horizon of a world where each man, each family, each nation lives at peace in a climate of freedom.”Then-U.S. president John F.
“We must realize that we are friends not because there have been no problems between us, but because we have trusted one another enough to be candid about our problems - and because our candour has nourished our co-operation.” Then-U.S. president Bill Clinton and then-prime minister Jean Chretien take in a round of golf at a Halifax golf course in this June 14, 1995 photo. As voters in Quebec were set to vote on a referendum on sovereignty later that year, Clinton broke from American neutrality and urged Canadians to stay together as he expressed his opposition to Quebec's separation.
