That's what they get for not picking out those brown M&Ms.

Lovely headline.

Well played.

Why don't they spend money they don't have. If we can send billions on a war, they can spend thousands on a rock concert.

Well done on the headline.

Shouldn't they be paying to keep Van Halen out?

Does Canada have a government or just a PR office?

You guys could learn a thing or two from that.

We happen to care where our money goes..

FTFA "Tourism Minister Valerie Docherty tells CBCNews.ca that initial government investment in the event rapidly climbed from $1.6 million (GBP800,000) to $4 million (GBP2 million)."

Well, yeah - I'd think the time machine alone would cost a bundle.

My geography might be a little off, but I'm pretty sure Canada is not constituted solely by the province of Prince Edward Island.

Seriously. It's not that Canada doesn't have the money. It's that they don't want to spend it on a Van Halen concert. Frankly, who could blame them? $4 million on a Van Halen concert?

 
shanghaistu 2008-07-02 04:02:05 AM  
Even the original bill worked out to $11 per person in the province. $11 of taxpayer money for every man, woman and child for a Van Halen concert??? Who approved that plan?

Proving once again that the quickest way to a greenlight is a misleading headline.

They should save Brooke Shields from drowning

This is another option I've illustrated. Feel free to add your own.

/First concert: VH, 1982

Hah, I win: First VH concert: 1978 (Texxas Jam)

for $300 the could probably get Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony.
for a buffet lunch they could probably get Gary Cherone.

Halen is nothing but guitar masturbation, boooooooring.
