In all fairness, Ms. Gregoire has been receiving 50 to 60 requests and invitations per day. While the wives of Canadian Prime Ministers don't have an official role or function as the American First Lady has, Mila Mulroney was, like Sofie Gregoire, a very popular PM's wife, who used her media access to promote her favourite charities, and who did a lot of good work using her position. Mrs. Mulroney was given a staff of 3 people to assist her in her scheduling, without all of the fuss going on now. Of course Mrs. Mulroney was a Conservative PM's wife. I have noted a double standard for conservative's when they do something, as opposed to when liberal does the same thing.
