About this episode
The episode discusses the federal government's financial contribution to security for the FIFA World Cup in Vancouver and Toronto amidst uncertainties from the provincial government.
The federal government will kick in $146M toward the overall security cost for the FIFA World Cup games in Vancouver and Toronto. That word comes as the B.C. government continues to stall on saying how much it will spend on security costs. The provincial government also hasn’t provided any updated cost of putting on the event in Vancouver. Old projections from the summer pegged that cost at $624M. The tournament is only 43 days away.
