This might put me on the wrong side of the fence as most Canadians, but as he was a leader of the opposition for a significantly short period, a man who didn't do anything great for Canada (small nod for giving the Bloc a kick to the groin), he did not deserve a state funeral.

But as that is another discussion, this final price tag was pretty amazing and efficient, considering Trudeau cost us $650,000

Best part of the article:

“The dollar figure released to The Canadian Press is the total combined cost borne by every federal department and agency involved in the nearly week-long event, not just the amount paid by Canadian Heritage, the lead department for state funerals.”

This amount of this funeral could have not been any lower even if we had a tax auditor run the thing.
