So charge the attendees a $1 and you don't have to worry about govenment spending.
If they really want to go the parade and its import to them then why not support it.
Its the same to me with the stampeded, if its generating so much money for local businesses then the businesses should have no problem raising 1.9 million for it.
Let tourism Canada work on educating the world about the benefits of visiting Canada as a whole not on support regional events.
