Harper: on the job with bed-bug sniffers
p2pnet view P2P | Politics:- Canadian prime minister George W. Harper has found a cool, new way to spend your money.
He’s already blown considerably more than $1 billion taxpayer dollars on a three-day G20 party which’ll achieve absolutely nothing.
Now, in further defence of the unholy, he’s paying special canine pest control officers to sniff out bed-bugs.
Because as p2pnet revealed recently, Toronto is infested with them.
The clip from David Cooper’s Toronto Star pic on the right is captioned “Michael Goldman shows how sniffer dog Inspector Kody indicates a ‘find.’ First Kody sits to show he’s on the trail and, when told to ’seek’ he will use his paw to show exactly where the bedbugs are.”
Amazing.
The Greater Toronto Area has had serious bed-bug problems for years. But only now has Inspector Kody been sicced on them.
Said p2pnet when news of Harper’s plan to throw millions of dollars down the toilet first broke, “In the midst of the worst economic crisis of modern times, a primary topic to be discussed in the forthcoming G20 and G8 junkets slated for Toronto next month is” >>>
… How to deal with the ‘recession’ which is driving companies out of business, causing tremendous global hardships, threatening the continuing existence of the European community, and ‘forcing’ large-scale cutbacks in essential services everywhere.
Cost of the ’summit’?
MORE THAN ONE BILLION DOLLARS —-
—- for a bloated, three-day political mutual-admiration-fest that’ll achieve absolutely nothing except:
- Totally block already congested Toronto streets
- Provide mouth-watering opportunities for trouble-makers who’ll inevitably cause …
- … hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars in damage to properties in the area (with zero recompense for the injured, says the Toronto Star)
- Cost businesses even more millions in lost revenues — except those chosen to serve attendees, of course
- Seriously inconvenience local people
- Open doors for entrepreneurial criminals who’ll take advantage of the fact an estimated 10,000 police officers will serving and protecting 18 world ‘leaders’ you wouldn’t trust as far as you could throw them
The theme?
Recovery and New Beginnings.
So who’ll Inspector Kody be serving and protecting?
- Argentina – Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, President
- Australia – Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister
- Brazil – Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President
- People’s Republic of China – Hu Jintao, President
- France – Nicolas Sarkozy, President
- Germany – Angela Merkel, Chancellor
- India I- Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister
- Indonesia – Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, President
- Italy – Silvio Berlusconi, Prime Minister
- Japan – Yukio Hatoyama, Prime Minister
- Mexico – Felipe Calderón, President
- South Korea – Lee Myung-bak, President
- Russia Russia – Dmitry Medvedev, President
- Saudi Arabia – Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, King
- South Africa – Jacob Zuma, President
- Turkey – Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, Prime Minister
- United Kingdom – David Cameron, Prime Minister
- United States – Barack Obama, President
And ‘guests’:
- Ethiopia – Girma Wolde-Giorgis, President
- Malawi – Bingu wa Mutharika, President
- Netherlands – Jan Peter Balkenende, Prime Minister
- Spain – José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Prime Minister
- Vietnam – Nguyễn Minh Triết, President
Goldman charges $300 and up for Inspector Kody’s services, says the Toronto Star.
Stay tuned.

I believe that is 300$ per inspection. If he finds any he comes back to inspect again.
Also, that entire list of people in your story, heh, they aren’t renting just one room per country. They probably have an entire floor or two, if not an entire hotel for security reasons.
Then there is the bed-bug inspection for their security & hanger-on’s which should be a few hundred.
The people, hospitals, Emergency rooms, critical care units? Pffft, they don’t matter. Let them live with the vampire bedbugs.
Tourists to Toronto? Shhh, Toronto doesn’t want tourists to know they are the bedbug capital of the world.

Toronto’s approaching racket
http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/G20/2010/06/18/14442286.html
But a look at the unofficial roster finds the vast majority of the thousands who will descend on downtown Toronto – and north to Huntsville for the G8 – are far from threatening.
They include established relief organizations, peace protesters and religious charities hoping to be heard.
One group is promoting a computerized ‘Earth-wide autonomic sensor system’ that will replace governments and tend to the world’s needs.

LOL, A computerized world government based on, most likely, p2p. How far out is that? Is it? hmm…
