George W. Bush To Give Talk In Calgary

Posted on Thursday, February 12 at 21:10 by NAUWATCH

A Calgary audience might be the first group to hear George W. Bush's take on the state of the world since he stepped down as U.S. president earlier this year.

Bush is to speak to an anticipated audience of 1,500 at a private event in the city on March 17, according to organizers Andy McCreath and Christian Darbyshire.

"It's our understanding it's one of the first -- if not the first -- times he'll speak since leaving office," said Geoff Pradella, vice-president of public and government affairs at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, which is partnering in the event.

    Now do I wear my Adidas or Nike shoes? My Sorel boots would hurt more, but they might be hard to throw.

    For those of you going to attend, I suggest you bring your dictionaries along so that you can understand Dubya`s magnificient and articulate speaking style.

    Making fun of an idiot is many times much better than rioting and burning vehicles......

    I accept Mr.Bush much more then the idiots we have running Canada. Many examples; Layton, Iggy, McGuinty and the mayor of Toronto. This is just to name a few. The former president is going to look very good and won't be long happening.

    There's only one person running Canada.....it used to be Bush. Now I suppose it's Obama (unless of course you count the "idiots" running him).........

    Bush is coming to Saskatoon Oct 21. I just bought a couple tickets to the event, I'm looking forward to it because I think it will be quite the experience.
