Former US President and known War Criminal will be speaking in Calgary, AB on March 17th, sponsored by the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, and the Law firm of Bennett Jones , whose clients include Terasen Gas, Petro Canada and Husky Oil.
This is Bush's first speaking engagement since leaving his disgraced office. He stands to make a pile of (blood) money for this event.
It's important that both organizations that are sponsoring this realize that Canadians abhor torture and war crimes and do not appreciate inviting this demon to our country.
The clueless that are sponsoring this event deserve to hear from you and if you feel the need to call them a few times then so be it.
I've spent the time to make it easy for you to take a moral stand as a human being of conscious and let them know how you feel.
It should disgust you that George Bush made the oil industry astronomical profits at the expense of over a million human beings.
Now out of office the oil industry pays him via speaking engagements such as this. Quid Pro Quo. Does it get anymore pathetic ?
Wives, Mothers, Dads, Grandparents, Babies and Children all slaughtered not to mention American soldiers as well and their widowed wives and orphaned children.
The trail of destruction is enormous and is felt the world over.
The disconnect to humanity that the sponsors of this farce are displaying, by inviting this ghoul, should be enough to get you off your ass and make a couple phone calls.
