Here's a sample of Canadian tweets about Obama's visit:
@aidapk (Vancouver, British Columbia): Ottawa security repeatedly says 'Thank You & Sorry' as he quickly guides photogs away from Prez. Obama & P.M. Harper - so Cdn...hee hee 
@martinik52 (Toronto, Ontario): Historical day watching President Obama in Ottawa. Impressions: Security is first class; Harper seems to be out of his class. 
@toddy2hotty (Kelowna, British Columbia): 64 cars in a presidential motorcade? Isn't that a little over the top? #obamawa 
@attaboy (Toronto, Ontario): I can't help assuming it's Obama's fault that my train to Ottawa is running late.
@bodger (Canada): http://twitpic.com/1kkil #obamawa Air Force One at the Ottawa Airport 
@joshaidan (Thunder Bay, Ontario): I like CNN's coverage of the Obama visit because they have a live cam that just follows Obama, without any commentaries. #obamawa
