[Castanet News]

Vancouver's police chief says it cost $943,000 to police the three Taylor Swift concerts in the city, but that was much surpassed by the economic impact of...

Ya the landfill just loves it
Kill the environment
Can you imagine the carbon footprint for this nonsense
Mindless fools

Booooo!, Hissss! lol

I'll bet that that is an extremely high and optimistic "economic impact" that this brought to "the city". Maybe "the city" should pay ALL the policing costs instead of having it spread out across the whole province. Swift is getting booed in America.

[voice of reason]

that is one way to spin a million dollar policing bill

Nice to see one positive comment.

We're getting tired of all the Debbie Downers and their caveman type replies on pretty well ever story.

How much extra does Vancouver pay for Canuck games?

I'm not interested in giving my tax dollars to support this.
These events need to be user/beneficiary paid.

She writes lyrics that validate the experiences of white women. Of course they will skyrocket in price, in proportion to the vast number of white women seeking validation.

Well, you're only one of 5.6 Million people who live in this Province.

I prefer going to concerts where the singer actually sings and doesn’t lip sync.

Why are tax payers paying for her security? Taxes don't pay for my security. I have to fork it out of my own pocket like she should have to. Is this not fraud? Probably another Trudeau policy to break us into homelessness.

And "writing beautiful lyrics" is NOT justifiable reason to do so. Sounds narcissistic.
