    Whenever royals visit Canada, the government pays millions in security costs, travel, lodging, etc.

      We also pay millions in security costs when we host lots of foreign government people. The hosting of the g7 summit this year cost us what, $600 million?

      Keeping that connection to Europe alive (especially right now) is well worth the cost in my opinion.
