With over a billion dollars already spent on G20 security, perhaps its time to ask the question:
Can we sacrifice some security to save some money? How much would G20 security cost if we only provided security to the following world leaders:
- Prime Minister of Canada
- EU Commission President
- EU Council President
- President of France
- Chancellor of Germany
- Prime Minister of Italy
- President of Russia
- Prime Minister of Great Britain
- Prime Minister of Austrailia
That's it, just protect this core crew, and leave the rest to the mercy of whatever flavour of the week NDP protesters feel like showing up.
