What past US presidents have said to Canada’s Parliament

For the ninth time in its history, Parliament will hear from the President of the United States on Wednesday, when Barack Obama addresses a joint session of the House of Commons and Senate.

Beginning with Harry Truman in 1947, six presidents have addressed Parliament: Ronald Reagan and Dwight Eisenhower did so twice.

Each speech has, of course, included a salute to the relationship between Canada and the United States, but with unique reflections on the issues of the day and the state of the world.
