Well the feds are at it again, this is our turn to host both G-8 and G-20 conferences the first in Huntsville at one of the resorts that has been turned into a military camp and the other in Toronto downtown on Front st. Yes we have an obligation to take our turn and host these world leaders and yes they need security however this 36 hour swarey in Toronto where the bulk of the security is required takes also most of the cost, this event hasn't even happened yet however the tab is already at 1.1 BILLION DOLLARS and yes you heard that right.
The final tally will be much higher when it's all over, i can't for the life of me understand why so much as last year in Pittsburg the americans spent $18 million dollars, and if you add the last 6 summits the total is less than a quarter billion dollars. Well the feds are having to bring in cops from across Canada paying for flights, salaries, meals and ovcourse accomadations not at motel 6 but the harbour castle westin hotel and by the way every room in the place is booked by the feds.
Where this goes off the rails for me is the visiting ( 19 ) countries have recieved clearance from CSIS and the RCMP to bring their own security for their particular leaders. If you haven't figured this out it means ultimately their own people will handle their own security for their leader, only quordinating with Canadian security. When you considerall the problems we have including deficits, busted infrastructure and short falls in health spending and here we have a no limit ATM card being passed around, i am a conservative and agree most of the time however this time their really out to lunch.
See you soon....
