\"\"<\/a> I decided to venture out to the Mulroney book signing in Calgary on Wednesday. Sure, he wasn’t a great Prime Minister, but he was a Prime Minister nevertheless. And not even the way Joe Clark or John Turner were Prime Ministers…Lyin<\/span>‘ Brian was a real <\/em>Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

Now, the last book signing I went to in Calgary was the Paul Wells one so I was kind of assuming it would be a similar crowd and atmosphere<\/span>. D’oh. Even though Brian has never had a blog, there were hundreds of people there so I was forced to stand in line for an hour and a half, waiting to get my chance to meet the man himself. Because of this, I missed the Q & A and the reading, but it was described to me from another Mulroney fan as follows:<\/div>\n
Holy crap…Mulroney’s bitterness must be seen to be believed!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

As for my event, as I inched towards Brian, I was thinking of clever and witty things to say (“thanks for giving us 13 years of Liberal government”) but at the end, I sort of stood there dumb faced and said something fairly un<\/span>-inspiring like “Da<\/span>…nice to meet you<\/em>…”. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I’ll have a full review once I get through all 1152 pages so I’m thinking that will be sometime in 2011. Until then, enjoy the photo highlights of the book signing:<\/div>\n
