Bush in Canada: The report

Posted By Annie Lowrey Tuesday, March 17, 2009 - 3:46 PM Share

In a wonderfully Onion-esque article, The Calgary Sun reports on former U.S. President George W. Bush's first public engagement since leaving office. Bush is in Canada to address the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, but first stopped off in a local Italian joint.

The story nabs some on-the-ground impressions from intrepid locals: Bush was a "funny and a down-to-Earth kind of guy. We even got some pictures with him." Another notes, "I tried pointing him out to my mom but she didn't get to see him."

And the article duly reports on what's really important up in Canada: "Bush wasn't the only high-profile guest there last night...Calgary Flames forward Olli Jokinen happened to walk in minutes before."
