What head of state celebrated a Dallas Cowboy?

There has not been a ton of joy in Dallas throughout the 2020 NFL season. So when a head of state takes time to praise a Cowboy it is noteworthy.

Not the President of the United States. How about the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau.

And what would get the attention of the leader of our neighbors North of the border?

Dallas long snapper L.P. Ladouceur on Sunday will play in his 251st NFL game. That pushes him past Eddie Murray, who played in 250, as most games played in the league by a Canadian.

Ladouceur is in his 16th season with the Cowboys.

As of 2020, Ladouceur is the oldest & most-tenured active player on the Dallas Cowboys. After Jason Witten‘s departure in 2020, Ladouceur is the last active Cowboy that played at Texas Stadium, the last active Cowboy to have played under head coach Bill Parcells, and one of two active Cowboys (alongside Sean Lee) to have played under head coach Wade Phillips.
