How Much Is The Religion Of Peace Costing Canada?
How much is the Religion of Peace costing Canadians in security, military commitments, humanitarian relief and domestic "outreach efforts" by various Canadian government institutions?
Unfortunately we can't know with certainty. An accurate tabulation of the total annual expenditure is not likely possible owing to reasons of "national security", "political correctness" and a simple inability to isolate and gather relevant data from disparate federal, provincial and municipal sources.
But we can put together an incomplete snapshot.
Following are the operating budgets for the CSE, CSIS and the RCMP, based on the estimates for 2014.
Communications Security Establishment 422,207,847
CSIS 513,007,839
RCMP 2,758,076,493
I doubt that any of these organizations would provide a figure if asked the amount spent on countering Islamic terrorism, but know that surveillance is an expensive business. CSIS has stated that as of October 2014 it was working on "63 national security cases linked to terrorism and involving 90 suspects". Surveillance is a time and man-power heavy endeavor, it isn't a single gumshoe following a target. Factor in the costs of electronic surveillance, research etc and it all adds up pretty quickly.
