The total amount spent on G8 and G20 security cost and Mr. Ignatieff's Lake Wastemataxes works out to no more than $48 per taxpayer. So why are all the latté/cappuccino-drinking-CBC-lefties so excited? They probably blow this on a dozen visits to Starbucks. Another way to look at this cost, Humboldt's share for Mr. Harper to showcase an appropriate positive Canadian image for the world's press is less than half of what it costs us to send one Saskatchewan Liberal to Ottawa. Chump change.
