I enjoy watching leaders communicate & debate.  Whether it is the Governor General reading off the Throne Speech, the US president delivering the State of the Union, or the Prime Minister giving a speech while rolling through town on a campaign stop during an election.

There is something about debate that stirs up the imagination, it forces you to think differently and it can challenge and/or strengthen your values.

When I read John Ibbitson’s Globe and Mail Column titled “Culture cold warriors face off in Canada” I couldn’t help myself from immediately calling the Event company and dropping $200 for a ticket to the event.  After all how often do we get two former presidents (George W. Bush & Bill Clinton) doing a debate in Canada?

Fireworks are not expected in this debate because former presidents are usually always civil to one another.  However I am confident that the discussion will be fascinating and engaging, especially as the two dissenting administrations have lead the United States through two very different policies over the last sixteen years.

Event is Scheduled at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on May 29.. See you there!
