George W is touring in Canada.

[Swede]

He's in town,right now. I've heard enough from him for 8 years,why on earth would anyone pay to hear him now?

1. motivational speeches for who? that man should be in prison.

instead of making money, he will never get away from protestors.

[valerief]

2. I read your subject line quickly and though it said W was torturing in Canada.

Wouldn't surprise me.

[MineralMan]

3. Listening to him speak qualifies as torture, as far as I'm concerned.

Seriously.

[Toasterlad]

4. Well, There Goes Canada's Good Will.

[ddeclue]

5. By "Canada" I assume you mean "Calgary"..(aka the Texas of Canada)

[lapislzi]

6. How is he allowed in?

Canada won't let you in if you have a drunk driving conviction on your record.

Canadialanders? Am I right?

[pipi_k]

7. So he cleared all the brush in Texas and now he's starting in on Canada...

It's a hard job, but some idiot has to do it, I suppose

[Heidi]

8. Probably in a Mountie costume.

What an ultra maroon.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

9. Is "pillie" traveling with him?

[Orsino]

10. If he's carrying flowers and candy...

...it's because someone told him about the oil shale.

[Oregone]

11. If he comes to my town, I might have something to say to him

[Lucy Goosey]

12. Get this: tomorrow Bush is speaking at the Montreal hotel where Lennon & Ono had their bed-in.

Their bed-in for peace.

Bush to face anti-war protest in spot where Lennon recorded 'Give Peace a Chance'

Also, you gotta love how the Calgary Herald can run the story with this headline: Edmonton gives Bush warm welcome, while illustrating it with this photo:
http://a123.g.akamai.net/f/123/12465/1d/www.calgaryherald.com/edmonton+gives+bush+warm+welcome/2127031/2125594.bin?size=620x400

Here, Calgary Herald, let me fix your headline: Select group of Edmontonians who like Bush enough to pay at least $100 to hear him speak give Bush a warm welcome.

(side note: Does $100 - $160 seem like an awfully low price to hear a former "leader of the free world" speak? I bet Bill Clinton could command more though he's 8+ years out of office, and I have no doubt that in 8 years, tickets to hear Obama speak will be a lot more than $160.)

23. Re your "side note"

The comparison is unfair. Obviously Bill Clinton commands higher speaking fees. He's like a bottle of wine. An older bottle of wine is often more highly prized. George W. Bush, on the other hand, is like a moldy slice of bread. You might try to sell it on eBay by claiming that it has the image of Jesus on it, but it won't fetch much.

[vinylsolution]

13. There's a bunch of folks up there....

... who are going to attempt a citizens' arrest.

Good luck to 'em! (and we hope you don't end up in Guantanamo!)

[Harry Monroe]

14. Do us a favor and keep him, will you??

[Lucy Goosey]

16. I think I can speak for 99% of Canadians when I say...um, no.

Unless we can somehow get him into one of our prisons.

[Harry Monroe]

17. Prison!! Could you do that?? Oh, be still my beating heart!!

Just desserts. Can Canada arrest him as a war criminal??

[TrogL]

15. He was in Edmonton yesterday

CBC radio announcer couldn't make herself heard over the protesters yelling "War Criminal".

[Spazito]

18. He's getting a rather noisy reception...

Hundreds protest Bush speech in Saskatoon

A noisy but peaceful crowd of 300 assembled in downtown Saskatoon on Wednesday to protest a speech by former U.S. president George W. Bush.

But protesters hoping to boo him in person were disappointed.

Bush, who was in town for a noon-hour speaking engagement at TCU Place, was taken inside the building earlier in the morning and avoided any encounters with the crowd.

"Harper, Bush: Twins," "End the Occupation of Iraq" and "Greed, War, Barbarian" were among the slogans.

(What a chickenshit, smuggled into the building instead of having the guts to face his detractors.)


and from yesterday:

Protesters greet Bush in Edmonton

Former U.S. president George W. Bush arrived to a loud and unfriendly welcome at the Shaw Conference Centre in downtown Edmonton on Tuesday.

Bush's motorcade was greeted by chants of "Bush, go home" and dozens of placards carrying messages such as "War criminal go home," "Defend the rights of all," and "Afghanistan Iraq illegal wars."

Police estimated about 250 demonstrators clogged the narrow sidewalk in front of the convention centre on Jasper Ave., where Bush was to give a speech Tuesday evening.

The talk was sponsored by Bedford Biofuels, an Alberta company that turns plant material into fuel, with operations in Asia and Africa.

19. Eeek! GW set foot in commie country????

Hope he took his passport. It would be a damn shame for same for some TSA agent to deny him reentry.

:evilgrin:

[Cleita]

20. Why don't you guys arrest him? He's a war criminal and he doesn't have

diplomatic protection any more from what I understand. It could be the only justice he will ever get.

[marmar]

21. Ought to mean good business for Molson and Labatts.....

:beer:

[NoUsername]

22. Damn. I didn't even know he was in a band.
