It would seem that Prez O partially took some of my advice from a previous post regarding what he should see while in Ottawa. The O-Man stopped at Hooker’s Beavertails and Le Moulin de Provence Bakery in the Byward Market.
Apparently in the dash to the airport, the motorcade swung by the Byward Market and Prez O did an unplanned walkabout, much to the joy of the folks in the Market and the consternation of the Secret Service.
A Beavertail, for the uninitiated is approximately related to the American fried dough, or elephant ear that you get at the state fair. The Obama-Beavertail has cinnamon, sugar, maple flavoured eyes and a round chocolate “O” in Nutella on the top.
A few steps away at Le Moulin de Provence Bakery, he scored a couple of “Canada” cookies for his kids. Even more remarkable is he actually had Canadian money to pay for them. Normally, US tourists proffer pictures of Washington or Jackson and rely on the clerk to do the math. The owner of Le Moulin de Provence decided wisely and comped the cookies, as the calculations involved require a university degree in Nuclear Engineering.
Canada has a lot of underemployed Nuclear Engineers working in the Byward Market, as it is a tourist destination for those with U.S. dollars.
There are no reports that the O-Man left with a pocket laden with Loonies (our one-dollar coin) or Toonies (our two-dollar bi-metal coin), but his aides likely did. Sascha and Malika can have some of that weird Canadian money as a souvenir along with their cookies. Heaven knows Canadian money isn’t worth anything in the US.
There are no reports of members of his entourage waking up somewhere in Hull or Point Gatineau in compromising situations involving a stuffed giraffe, ‘danceurs’ and a trampoline. Perhaps just as well.

It would have been a state visit that only Bill Clinton would truly enjoy.
