Global Perspectives A Conversation with Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Tickets: $299.25 (includes processing fee and GST)
Table of 10: $2,992.50 (includes processing fee and GST)
Clinton told about 2,000 people at a Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce luncheon that the international community has to target material that is drawing radicals to the cause.
And on to Saskatoon in front of 2,000 more people for more of the same at $96 to more than $300 per person, but refused to give an opinion on the Keystone XL pipeline.
The announcement of her Canadian appearances comes just days after an investigation detailing the high price that comes with inviting Clinton to speak, and the intriguing demands that come with her appearance.
The Washington Post learned last week that Clinton charged the University of California at Los Angeles $300,000 for a recent speaking appearance a price that was described as a discounted university rate.

War, terrorists, war! Doesn't make sense to me that she'd speak up here when we hear exactly the same from our own politicians in charge - until October, anyway.

Clinton told about 2,000 people at a Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce luncheon that the international community has to target material that is drawing radicals to the cause.
Speaking to 2,000 people Wednesday, Clinton argued that the international community needs to target terrorist propaganda that is drawing in Muslims all over the world. Clinton added that the entire world has a stake in ending terrorism. This comes a few months after U.S. President Barack Obama urged Canada to continue combatting the terrorist threats.
Here's a question: who are they to give marching orders to Canada in this fight that was sparked in the first place by U.S. foreign policy? Unfortunately, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his successor likely Liberal leader Justin Trudeau will just cave into these demands and risk taxpayers' money and lives in this antiquated threat.
Canada has already been part of a decade-long war in Afghanistan that led to the loss of 158 soldiers, while also costing the federal government approximately $18 billion, which could have been allocated to other pressing matters. Furthermore, we also had to help overthrow the government of Libyan Colonel Muammar Gadhafi, who posed no threat to Canada's national security.

And ...... Calgary, Ottawa ... I had no idea they'd paid her that much.

The speech is the excuse to give the money. They would happily have just given the money.
