6. Who will say sorry to the grandkids?
Edited on Thu May-27-10 10:28 AM by shockedcanadian
When they are told that the healthcare that was once he envy of the world is no longer available due to the mismangement of finances by their former governments (of all stripes). Over a $BILLION spent when England spent $30 million hosting one of the summits, and Pittsburgh spent $20 million U.S hosting the G20 last year. Is Canada REALLY this inefficient? There has to be more to this than simply paying for security for these summits...


This three day event amounts to almost the same amount of money spent on one year fighting in Afghanistan. If security is such an important issue, I would prefer to see soldiers who are being shot at and have their lives endangered everyday have access to more funds before we dump $1 Bilion on a three day event to protect leaders from some protesters.

Just more pissing away of funds during a period when we can least afford to do so.
