Barack Obama is speaking in Toronto this month
Between the deaths of 176 people during Wednesday's tragic plane crash in Iran, the bushfires of Australia killing more than 1 billion animals, and the causal memefication of WWIII, 2020 is off to a rather scary start.
Some might say that we need a leader who can truly comfort us now, more than ever — and who's more comforting that America's beloved 44th President Barack Obama?
Whatever your stance on his politics, you can't deny the power of Obama's dulcet-toned voice and optimistic speeches. He really is a one-of-kind speaker, as he has proven in spades both during and after his time in office.
Those who have yet to experience Obama live can see for themselves in just two weeks, when POTUS 44 comes to Toronto as part of a speaking engagement at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
We pleased to announce DISCOUNTED tickets available to our members:
