G8 and G20 Summits

It can be lonely in the Great White North. Perhaps that's why this year, Canada is inviting the whole world over. The Vancouver Winter Games were a warm-up: This month, it welcomes the G8 and G20 summits -- considered the Olympics of protesting. But hosting comes at a steep price. Canada will dole out $179 million for some 11,000 police to work security at the summits, twice as many as at the Winter Games. And, we're guessing, fewer spangly costumes. -- DJ
