Bush, Clinton to Share Stage in Toronto

Susan Davis reports on politics. It could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will share a stage May 29 in Toronto at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The former presidents, both 63 years old, will discuss the global and domestic challenges facing the U.S. and Canada. The New York Times reported that Bush and Clinton will join in a 90-minute discussion moderated by Frank McKenna , a former Canadian ambassador to the U.S., and there will be a question-and-answer session. The event is closed to the media. Clinton became close with Bush’s father and fellow former president, George H.W. Bush , after the two joined efforts for philanthropic causes. “I’m enough older that he has treated me with great deference and I would say friendship. And so there is a friendship there,” Bush said of Clinton in 2005 . (link)
