Protesters gearing up to "welcome" Bush to Canada for his first post-presidential speech

Peace activists say Bush's time in office was anything but momentous. They vow to be out in force with placards and megaphones to greet the man known for his own unique vocabulary, often dubbed Bushisms.

"There's no doubt there will be protests in honour of the occasion," said Grant Neufeld, co-ordinator with Peace Calgary. Many people remain furious with Bush for his record on human rights, torture and war in Middle East, he said.

"There's a number of people who would like to see him arrested."

Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour, called Bush one of the worst presidents in history who will almost certainly attract demonstrations in Calgary.

The union, though, is concentrating its energy on the economic downturn in Alberta, he said.

"I'm certainly not going to roll out the welcome mat for Old Georgie Boy, but the good thing is he's a has-been."

Please Canada show America and the rest of world what you think of him.

Bring LOTS and THROW them at his limo!

He has a DWI doesn't he?

That's why he was rewarded with the DOJ gig.

so they can arrest him and toss him in the Hague.

P.S. Why are Rove and Miers still running around free. Have we passed, Fascism, and gone straight over to Anarchy?

"deserves to be shot and pissed on" comes to mind whenever I think of george w bush

We DO have the authority to arrest and try him for war crimes,

but that Harper sonofabitch would never do it

I want Chretien back

HE'd do it

Why is Harper still PM? I thought you were in the process of kicking him out a couple of months ago?

.

He's still a minority government - so he's gotta tread softly

and he just lost his bushbuddy

give us a year or two

and it'll be Harper is GONE!!!

I already took him outta my avatar

Now it's "wishful thinking"

Bush and Cheney behind bars

I remember reading back when he visited Canada as President, the only reason he couldn't be arrested for being in violation of some treaty re: war crimes that we had with Canada was because he had diplomatic immunity. Could Canadians arrest him now and send him to the Hague?

our lame-ass government probably doesn't have the guts to do it.

persona non grata to the vast majority of Canadians. If he were daring to show his disgusting face in Edmonton, I would gather many shoes, take them out to the barn, coat them appropriately and heave them as close to him as legally possible.

Calgary has plenty of citizens who despise the POS and I am sure they will be in attendance outside.

what the relevance is in even mentioning him.

even included exclamation marks with it, and you did it because he lives in Alberta? LOL, that it? I live in Alberta so, by extension I guess I merit lots of !!!!!! too.

:rofl:

I think GWB has vastly underestimated the hatred towards him, even in Calgary. I hope everyone shows up with extra shoes.

Sorry, Vancouverite kneejerk reaction.

be giving a speech when he doesn't have to?

But remember, the morans who are paying have to listen to him mangle the language.

I'm thinking it's got to be a meeting of "Masochists Anonymous."

Waiting with shoes in hand.

if he had one single moral bone in his body he would just try and fade away after all the damage he has done to this country.

* is a moran extraordinaire, no conscience or shame.

I imagine Blackwater accompanies him along with the SS. Coward.

From the story:

"It's also an opportunity for Alberta's oilpatch to appeal for investment and form a strong relationship with a man who knows the major players in the U. S. oil and gas industry."

The sponsors are the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, an accounting firm, and a law firm.

What if he is arrested for international war crimes?

I have an old pair of shoes I'd like him to check out.

For our freedoms. :rofl:
