For the love god, keep all these G summits at the same venue every year, or lease the UN building.
What is wrong with these politicians? We are spending more on this summits security (which is only 3 days) than we spent hosting the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Nonsense. Why would the Liberals and NDP force an election which they would lose?

It's all a matter of what you count. I imagine that this $1B includes a lot of capital costs for equipment which will continue to be used for decades.
very frustrating!
but the idea of hosting these large events at a permanent location seems pretty economical to me. :S
