OTTAWA—Former U.S. president Barack Obama will speak on global citizenship in Toronto on Sept. 29 at a time when all eyes are on his Oval Office successor, Donald Trump. Hosted by Canada 2020, a non-profit, left-leaning, Ottawa-based think-tank, Obama will speak at a lunchtime event at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Now on the speakers’ circuit, Obama participated in a similar event in Montreal in June. As with the earlier appearance, Obama is expected to answer questions from a moderator after the speech. Individual tickets are not available, but tables of 10 will be sold starting Tuesday, at $10,000 a pop.
