Canadians yesterday threw shoes in protest against George W Bush when he gave his first post-presidential speech in western Canada's oil patch. The footwear was tossed at an effigy of the 43rd US president outside a Calgary conference centre where Bush was to speak to some 1,500 people.
"We had shoes sent in (to us) from across the country," Lemieux said earlier, charging Bush is a "war criminal" who must be prosecuted for his policies in the US "war on terror".
Bush to write book on toughest decisions
At the conference, Bush revealed he was writing a book on the 12 toughest decisions he made in office and said he wouldn't criticise US President Barack Obama because Obama "deserves my silence".
Bush said he didn't know what he would do in the long term, but that he would write a book that asks people to consider what they would do if they had to protect the United State as president. He says it will be fun to write and that "it's going to be (about) the 12 toughest decisions I had to make".
