Canadians savagely respond to Sarah Palin's potential ambassador role

With the array of unexpected events that occurred in 2016, the prospect of Sarah Palin becoming the next United States' ambassador to Canada shouldn't be a surprise.

The news broke after White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer refused to deny rumors she was being considered for ambassador to Canada.

Considering how the former Alaskan Governor and Vice Presidential nominee was a staunch supporter of Trump throughout his election campaign, one could conceive how Trump would choose her for the position.

However, the news of her potential appointment quickly caught the attention of Canadians who took to social media to express their opinions on the matter.

Dear Mr. Trump: Rather than appoint Sarah Palin as ambassador to Canada, please bomb us. Signed, all intelligent life in Canada. #killmenow

If #sarahpalin is appointed ambassador to #Canada I suggest we tell her that #Oshawa is the capital. #cdnpoli #uspoli

This is entirely because Sarah Palin can see Canada from Alaska, isn't it? https://t.co/9DzQzMnthR

The news even sparked former Prime Minister Kim Campbell to take to Twitter...

Americans also felt obliged apologize to Canadians...

I apologize to the Canadian people on behalf of decent US citizens. You don't deserve this. #sarahpalin https://t.co/IQQ7qaGVr1

The position became available last month after Bruce Heyman resigned following the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

Ultimately, only time will tell whether Palin becomes the next ambassador to Canada or not. In the mean time, the social media responses are enough to make us laugh and forget about the state of the world.
