SAY WHAT? A billion dollars plus for policing the 'oh so important' G8 Summit meeting. All that money for 72 hours of what? Sitting around, basking in luxury at our expense.
These meetings of the G8 heads of state with all their wisdom, never accomplish anything anyway. And since when did anything that Canada had to say, matter to the rest of the world. This meeting is nothing more than a luxurious vacation and photo op for all these people that think they matter more than the rest of us.
In all the previous summit meetings, NO country has ever spent anywhere near that amount. Where is all this money going. I think I might know, but I'd better not say. Have your meeting. Fine, but does it really have to cost that much? The rest of us have to live on a tight budget, and sometimes more often than not, without. I think it is high time these governments started doing the same, take their hands out of our pockets and quit screwing us.
Yes, I know, all these perks we get have to be paid for. Why doesn't the government give us each one million dollars and we could choose for ourselves what we want or don't want. It sure would be cheaper that what they are doing now and we wouldn't need to have everything some of us don't want, rammed down our throats.
This so called 'temporary tax' on income, brought in many years ago is still here and has turned into a two-headed monster just gobbling up more and more of our money. I'm not a political person, but I sure am fed up.
There comes a point when enough is enough. Maybe one day, people will band together and revolt.
