$500K might be enough for four officers. But not if you have to spend it all in one weekend on overtime pay.
I really don't see any reason why the region or WRPS would actually want to spend $500K policing the event.
I'm loving the conspiracy tone this is taking!
So we are saying that the police/region is letting it get this big on purpose to try to get more funding from (province? fed? taxes?) for more police staff and to make a few people richer? If you are suggesting a conspiracy then lay it out for us please.
