First of all... fragile egos? If anything ex-prime ministers and presidents have the biggest strongest egos in the world. So ex-American presidents are given specific protocols and are guarded by secret service agents. Big whoop. Honestly, who cares ifour ex prime ministers are a bit grumpy? They're like little kids given a taste of power. When it's taken away, they can't do anything about it, so they through a temper tatrum. Don't get me wrong. I apreciate so many things about living here, and so many things that the government has done for me. However, if a prome minister can't graciously step of his pedistal when leaving office, it just leaves me feeling disappointed. Since eing in office, a P.M. can no longer carry his own baggage? No.
It's only natural to feel some resentment about being left in the dust after having everyone's attention on you I suppose. Part of growing up, however, is that you learn to shrug things off, move on, and GET OVER YOURSELF! These ex-PMs have to realize that society isn't going to hold their hand and wait on them hand and foot anymore.
Get used to cooking your own dinners, gentlemen.

I think former US presidents get a lot of special treatment, by "a lot" I mean "too much". Former presidents are still called "Mr. President", they all have presidential libraries back in their home states, go on speaking tours, write books, and are held, generally, in high honour, are forgiven their trespasses etc. etc. Can anyone tell me where John Turner is now, or Kim Campbell? Does anyone care?
