Joe Biden Slammed The Toronto Maple Leafs In A Joke & It's All Because Of His Wife (VIDEO)
Joe Biden took a crack at the Toronto Maple Leafs during his visit to Ottawa, and it was all in the name of love.
The 80-year-old U.S. president had his first official Canadian visit this week, and while addressing Parliament, he slipped in a little jab at the Toronto Maple Leafs.
"Our labour unions cross borders so do our sports teams. Baseball, basketball, hockey – I have to say I like your teams, except the Leafs," said Biden in his speech.
Biden received a standing ovation for the joke and a round of wild applause and boos, but he quickly explained the noble reason behind his disdain for the legendary team.
"I'll tell ya why – they beat the flyers back in January, that's why," said Biden. "I married a Philly girl, and if I didn't say that, I'd be sleeping alone, and fellas, I like you but not that much."
Jill Biden, the First Lady of the U.S., grew up just outside of Philadelphia in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, so it makes sense that President Biden would have to defend the Philadelphia Flyers in her honour.
The Leafs beat the Flyers six to two on January 8, 2023, so it's understandably a sore spot for the couple.
During his speech, the U.S. president also touched on gender equality in Canada and the U.S. cabinets and chastised some MPs for not standing up alongside other members who started a standing ovation.
Justin Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau hosted the Bidens at their Rideau Cottage during their brief visit, and the family was also treated to a three-course meal on March 24, although plenty of people chimed in online that the menu wasn't exactly up to snuff.
People Are Sharing Hilarious Bad Reviews Of Ottawa's Parliament Hill & Did They Even Visit

If you click on the lowest ratings for Parliament Hill and scroll through the one-star reviews some funny comments pop up that could have you laughing out loud. They beg the question, "Did these people even go there?"
A user is upset that they can't keep bees in their backyard. There is no mention of Ottawa or the building whatsoever.

As you continue to scroll, you'll notice a lot of comments and reviews about the Canadian government but they are not specific to the location itself.
One visitor claims he was stuck in traffic and sullied his experience.
"Not in Quebec," a reviewer wrote. Hmm, it makes you wonder which province they live in.

One reviewer straight-up called Justin Trudeau "one sexy pineapple".
This reviewer seemed quite surprised that Canada's parliament is not a truck stop.
Another reviewer clearly had some specific tastes that just weren’t met at Parliament Hill. Maybe he should have looked in the Byward Market or on Elgin Street.
Another food-related comment claims that this tourist destination is the "worst restaurant ever".
This funny negative review goes on an anti-government rant claiming that soda pop is good for children to consume.
It's clear that Canadians and visitors have some interesting opinions when it comes to Ottawa's Parliament Hill. The reviews may not make sense but at least they are entertaining to read.
