Liberal leader and once-future PM Michael Ignatieff is really, really concerned about the 1,000,000,000 dollars the government is spending on security for the upcoming G20 summit. This kind of spending would never happen -- never -- under a Liberal government, which always watches its spending like a hawk and treats taxpayers' money as if it were their own.
"Why, under a Liberal administration, this could have paid for 500 (FIVE HUNDRED) gun registries!!!", Ignatieff said.
And that's the way the fiscal Ball bounces.

I too am outraged at a billion dollars being wasted for a photo-op get together that could have been done by video conferencing. The only difference between the Iggomaniac and I is that I would have opted for the video conferencing and then used the billion dollars for health care or paying down the debt. Ignatieff would use it to give away to some lounge lizard who thinks work is just another dirty four letter word.
I can't disagree with you. But, I think we are still in the recessionary era where "money must be spent". There's a big fiscal hang-over coming.
