I saw Justin Bieber on my flight from LAX to YYZ on March 2nd. He was sitting in J and his entourage was in Y. That kid was super short.

When in Quebec and travelling by car, Premier Charest has his car with 2 SQ drivers/bodyguards along with a chase car with 2 other SQ officers.
Depending on the type of event, an advance party of usually 2 officers comes in about 60-90 minutes to check the location out (big crowds vs. small crowds vs. public events vs. PLQ party events).
Not sure what the arrangements are like when travelling outside of the province or country on commercial flights. In some cases, the premier does use one of the Challengers from the Service aérien du Gouvernement du Québec based at YQB.
When outside of the country, the premier has at least one of his SQ detail members along for the ride and they are likely NOT armed.
All of this based on personal observations in Quebec, Toronto and Paris.

Are you referring to Megan Fox?
My mistake . . . Would have assumed a reference to a "celebrity" would relate to their name and not the TV Network they work for . . . And never assumed Ann Coulter would pass the "celebrity" test and get in this thread.
My bad Stranger.
PS - Wouldn't it be a great world if we all realized the attention Coulter gets feeds this annoying circle. U of O just give her a louder platform by cancelling her talk. I promise you, she'll just go away if we ignore her. Would LOVE it if all CGY media decided not to cover/mention her talk at UoC (or whereever she's "performing")

What a deep post??
Are you referring to Megan Fox? She's never had DUI, keeps out of trouble, isn't hooking up w/ someone new every week, not a clubber . . . I don't get it?? I'm thinking a post like yours stems from a life of constant rejection from females over the years?

This is exactly what happened at UWO. She was completely invisible on campus. Nothing showed up on the campus website and I don't think most people were aware that she was here. Her stupid "let them ride camels" remark made it to the news, but that was about it.

Won't happen in Calgary.
People here love right wing bimbos apparently.
Now if we could enroll a couple of thousand women who would agree to wear some sort of hair cover to go sit in front of the audience....

After her comments about Arabs, flyimng carpets and camels, maybe she should be put on a canadian no-fly list. 
We'll then do our best to offer her a camel to take her back to the US boarder. Maybe a horse?
