G7 World leaders

   Well the G7 world leaders are meeting again, this time in Germany. I am sure everyone remembers when the G7 meetings were held a few years ago in Toronto and Huntsville? This is a very important summit, where the most powerful and wealthy world leaders meet to discuss the most pressing world issues.
  I can't remember what issues they actually addressed in Toronto or what was achieved but I do remember what we, the taxpayers of Canada, were required to purchase for these powerful leaders. The items included:
-$14,000 worth of glow sticks. I would loved to have seen these Presidents and Prime Ministers playing with glow sticks.
-$13,000 for miscellaneous textiles, headgear and umbrellas.
-$14,000 for binoculars.

-$74,000 for defibrillators. This I understand. We had to be prepared in case every single person at the summit had a heart attack at the same time.
-$17,000 worth of snacks. I appreciate a good snack,  but I would really like to know what kind of snacks they provided for $17,000 and did they really need those snacks?  

  Maybe I am just not sophisticated enough to understand the needs of the world's elite. They obviously don't eat chips or popcorn as snacks. We can't expect them to look at the weather report before getting here to determine if they should bring a hat or an umbrella. And of course after a long day solving the world's problems perhaps a glow stick is just what they need for relaxation.  

   I am just glad these guys running the world take it so seriously, Hey Obama don't work too hard!
