Canadians prepare for fervent Obama welcome

OTTAWA, Feb. 18 (Xinhua) -- When U.S. President Barack Obama steps on the Canadian soil Thursday for his first foreign trip, he will be in for an excessively welcoming public.
Canadians across the country have planned various ways to receive the popular president, though they may not even get a glimpse of him during his a few hours' stop in Ottawa.
------------
Thousands will turn up on the Parliament Hill to be as close to the president as possible. Obama will arrive on the Hill at about noon time in his special limousine and enter the center block of the Parliament building. Police have suggested people might catch a glimpse of him as he exits and enters his limousine.
-----------------
Polls show that 81 percent of Canadians would vote for Obama as the U.S. president. Analysts say Obama's high popularity in Canada suggests the public's expectations for their own leaders.
