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.
The Region isn't just one entity, though. Different sub-organizations have different incentives. One can imagine that WRPS might want to increase its budget, for instance.
