Big Promises, Big Government, Big Taxes - Now a Big Security Bill ($2.4M per month to Guard the PM, His Family and His Sock Collection)

For some context...

At $2.4 million per month is double the beginning of Stephen Harper's term and is 10 times higher than the cost of the controversial holidays of the Trudeau family in the private island of Aga Khan that recently put the prime minister in the hot seat.

Just for the first six months of 2017, $14 million was spent protecting Justin Trudeau and his family, compared to $11.5 million for the same period last year, according to the RCMP under the Access to Information Act. This $2.5 million represents a 22% annual increase.

At this rate, the Prime Minister's security will cost the RCMP an estimated $28 million in 2017, an increase from $23.6 million last year (already a recent peak).
