A former president of the United States spoke to an almost full Mile One Centre in St. John’s this afternoon. Bill Clinton told the crowd he wanted to come to Newfoundland and Labrador as it and Prince Edward Island were the only Canadian provinces he hadn’t visited to date.Premier Danny Williams made some opening remarks and welcomed Clinton to the province. Former New Brunswick premier Frank McKenna introduced Clinton.
Mile One Stadium holds 7000 people, and ticket prices ranged from $100 to $1000. Not too shabby for an hour's work... rock bands should be jealous. No word on whether or not he was "Screeched In".
