But through deep investigative reporting, CV can say the high price tag was used to make sure they had enough "asshats" to go around for all the attendees...
Let's do a knowledge exchange... If all you Americans out there can tell me who's winning "So You Think You Can Dance", or any "American Idol" contest, EVER, I'll share with you a few bullet points about the purpose of this meeting...
First... A quick glance at recent history...
A year ago, when the global financial meltdown threatened a corresponding economic collapse, the G-20 leaders gathered in London and pledged to work in concert to stimulate growth. That meant opening the taps for more than a trillion dollars in public spending and confidently predicting it would save jobs and increase output...
It was mostly the brilliant strategy of this class of clowns that was supposed to nurture that concept off an academic chalkboard and into reality...
Result = FAIL (and one of the classmates just quit)

In English, that means...
"We are both heading for the cliff, who jumps first, is the Chicken".
In any case, whatever happens for the erstwhile messiah, the GOOD NEWS is that since he's running out of things to blame GWB for, due to the convenient location of this G-20, in the end he can just...
But CV is still wondering why they're all in Toronto??? I mean, why didn't they just send them over to Vancouver where the Olympics were just a few months ago...
They could have sent them all one by one down the luge track at Whistler Mountain and try their luck with "Deadman's Curve"... At minimum, a spectacle like that would have commanded top advertising revenue, and helped mitigate the cost for this fia(t)sco...
