Obama urges Canadians to hope in dark age and progress
Former U S president Barack Obama told an Ottawa audience that the world may be dark after his presidency but can move toward a positive story of tolerance. He described humanity’s trajectory as improving yet warned against complacency and framed populist appeals as dangerous. He spoke for about an hour at the Canadian Tire Centre in a session with Shopify founder Tobias Lutke, praising science and facts while recalling Canada’s role in the global recovery and his family life.
