Cordially hated by every human being on the Eastern Seaboard that has the misfortune to live under a migration path. As Georgians are being reminded of, even as we speak:
Georgia wildlife officials are asking landowners to be patient with Canada geese during their summer molting period.
State waterfowl biologist Greg Balkcom says geese begin losing their feathers and growing new ones in late June and early July. During this time, the birds are unable to fly and are known to frustrate landowners who are irritated with the volume of feathers and feces the birds produce.
Although Wikipedia is telling me that more and more of the damned things are now sticking in one place, because, hey, golf courses are like Heaven to a Canada goose. …But of course. They vex us. They vex us, and we shall have them…

Will the Canadian Goose blend?
Well, considering that they occasionally tend to get sucked into jet engines, I’d guess so…
So what you’re saying, is that Obama harbors animosity towards Canada because their geese interfere with his golfing?

(Yes, tongue tucked firmly in cheek.)

I don’t think this is especially new. In this area, we’ve had the honkers saying “bugger this whole migration thing” for forty-some years that I personally know of.
And the local golf courses have ground rules about the geese, and whatever they may leave behind.
I must admit, I loathe Canada geese much more than I despise the President’s golfing habit (at least he’s not doing anything when he’s golfing).
I don’t mind his golfing, I mind the double standard the Lefties have about it.

As to Canadian geese? I don’t mind them a bit. They’re darn good eats.
Perhaps a solution would be recipes for the vermin and local authorities being very understanding about folks harvesting the birds for such a purpose.
