Security for G20/G8 Summits in Canada will cost AT LEAST $830 MILLION



What ... the ... FUCK.

IS IT REALLY WORTH IT TO HAVE THIS MEETING?

We have a serious budget deficit and debt to pay off, but the government has the money to pay for this stupid nonsense meeting of the world's richest and most powerful.

I never been to protest the G20/G8 gatherings, but I sure as hell would like to protest this GIGANTIC taxpayer-funded party/bill.

May 25, 2010
Canadian Press

OTTAWA - Security for next month's G8 and G20 summits will cost Canadian taxpayers at least $833 million.

Figures released by the federal government reveal $654 million in new money, on top of $179 million already earmarked.

The numbers show the RCMP - which is leading the massive security effort - will receive an additional $321 million, while the Public Safety Department gets $262 million.

Monies will also go to the Defence Department, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the national air transportation security authority and a clutch of other agencies.
G8 leaders gather in Huntsville, Ont., late next month, then join other world leaders for the G20 summit in Toronto.

The money will be used for planning, accommodation, information technology, and working with security partners to protect leaders and their delegations.

Canada needs to earn money, not burn money.

Participating countries should contribute to security costs IMO

Please note than $833 million is probably not all the costs, it doesnt say anywhere that security is the only thing that costs money.

Somehow I feel that the agencies will pocket much of the money, or pay officers extra for the security. This feels like another excuse for the government to abuse money, and I dont hear much criticism of this specific 833million debacle in the media. Fucking quiet.

Maybe we should at least hold the government accountable to make sure this platinum meeting of suits will actually produce something very important or very useful. Naaaah, unlikely.

800 million will be enough money for a large project, a way to generate jobs, pay off the debt, or maybe decrease the deficit.

AND THEN THEY TRY TO RAISE TAXES ... Damn politicians, damn McGuilties.

Isn't it moved around from each of the countries thus the costs are shared as each country hosts the event.

I'm interested to know how security in Russia would differ, cost wise, from that in Canada.
