Yes, I did. Safety rules. Now we get the final estimates for the security costs of hosting the G8 and G20 meetings here in Canada. The costs rival the tab for security at the Winter Olympics. It will be about $1 Billion when is all is said and done. All this "just in case something happens". Well, guess what? If they did this meeting by video conferencing, nothing would happen and we could spend all that money on something worthwhile. And then think of all the savings on meeting facilities, food (read caviar and $200 bottles of wine), lodging, transportation, etc. And what do they talk about at these meetings? These days it is mostly about the world economy. They just don't get it. The world is in trouble because it spends money it does not have. Canada is running deficits too so we are spending money we do not have to hold a meeting to discuss spending money we do not have. It is really and truly INSANE!
PS My bicycle photo is meant to calm and restore order to my frazzled and stressed out mind from all the insanity in the world. It is not working right now.
