The Canadian government has budgeted up to $930 Canadian (US$885 million) for the summits.
By comparison, the stated amount spent by Pittsburgh on security for last September's G20 summit was US$12.4 million. This in a country that was actually hit by a major attack and is target number one on most terrorist hit lists.
So why is Canada spending a billion? Where's the threat?
