Los Angeles - Former California governor and Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger will hit the speech circuit in Canada later this month to discuss green energy solutions - and his experience in movies and bodybuilding.

The former Terminator star will give talks in Calgary, Toronto and Montreal from January 25 to 27, event organisers said on Tuesday.

“On his first speaking tour, the governor will talk to the Montreal business community about his career in politics, movies and bodybuilding,” the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal said in a statement.

The organisation said the speech Schwarzenegger is due to give in Montreal is entitled: “Will innovation and green technologies save the global economy?”

The city's board of trade touted the Republican politician's accomplishments, citing “sweeping political reforms, historic investments in California's crumbling infrastructure, and the most comprehensive greenhouse gas policy in the world”.

Tickets to attend the Montreal event cost between $275 and $1 200. - AFP
