   Ask the average world citizen where (what city) was the last G20   
   conference in, and I bet they won't know.   
      
   And for those that do know - ask them how their media's coverage of the   
   even influenced or informed them about the city.   
      
   So why are we spending 1.2 billion dollars to impress a bunch of   
   faceless, nameless mid-level foreign bureaucrats, functionaries,   
   security goons and obscure foreign press?   
      
   Two months after the olympics are over, I bet most foreigners couldn't   
   tell you which city hosted them.   
      
   And is Harper admitting that Canada is such a dangerous country, and   
   that Canadians are so unruly and dangerous, that we need to spend 3   
   times the previous record to insure the safety of these foreign goons?

   This is Harper punnishing Liberal Toronto.
