Friends and foes brace for Bush

~

When George W. Bush makes one of his first post White House speeches in Calgary, the 43rd president of the United States will be greeted by a special welcoming committee--protesters determined to voice their displeasure with his eight-year reign and the subsequent fallout.

Indeed, whether you like him or hate him, Bush is a polarizing figure who knows how to draw a crowd and a reaction.

And that will hold true in Calgary, when he arrives to speak to an audience of around 1,500 at a private gathering March 17 at the Telus Convention Centre.
