For years now, the city of Ottawa has been pleading with the Con government to pay for the costs incurred by the city to provide security services for federally-rlated activities. These include riding shotgun on motorcades, services to protect embassies, etc. According to Chief White of the Otttawa Police, the amount can run as high as $10 million per year. For three years the feds have ignored the issue.
But lo and behold, 2 days into the election, John "Screamer" Baird vows a 5 year contribution of $2 million per year IF he is re-elected.
