The numbers are in – November’s royal visit cost Canadian taxpayers $2.57 million dollars. The 11 day visit’s expenditures included accommodation, travel, a promotional website for the trip, and a staff crew (who earned a total of $630,000 over the 11 days).
Maybe Canadians can compare it to a really expensive gift you get your parents for their anniversary when you’ve finally got a steady income. Sort of like visual trickery, to confuse dad, so that he won’t ask about your increasing deficit and political scandals.
