Jim Watson, the mayor of Ottawa, Canada, urged the Toronto Raptors to visit the Canadian Parliament instead of the White House after the team won the NBA Finals this week.

Watson called on Prime Minister Trudeau to invite the team to the country’s Parliament in an online post on Friday.

“Forget the White House for a victory lap. Come to Ottawa and Parliament Hill so Canada can congratulate you,” Watson wrote.

It is unclear whether the White House plans to invite the championship team for visit to meet President Trump.

Why would a Canadian team visit the White House anyway?

Republicans need to cleanse themselves of movie and sports celebrities, except for a highly vetted few. Most of them hate Republicans and are bad for America.

Exactly. Trump should just announce no more sports parties. Only invite Veterans.

hopefully trump doesn’t say anything. He just doesn’t invite them at all. Let this stupid tradition die a nice quiet death.

OR ... why would an American president invite a Canadian team to the White House?

In a saner time, a Canadian championship team could do BOTH, visit the Canadian Parliament and its Prime Minister, as well as the POTUS. But these are not sane times.
