How Much IS a Billion Dollars?

A billion here, a billion there Just how much IS a billion dollars? It's one thousand million - a number that is beyond comprehension

If you have yet to celebrate your 32nd birthday, you have not lived one billion seconds

One billion minutes takes us back to the time of Christ

If one were to stack money at the base of the CN Tower, you would hit a billion dollars at the observation deck using one thousand dollar bills! Not one thousand, one dollar bills.... one thousand dollar bills!

A billion dollars spent at Canadian Tire would purchase 21 million trigger locks, 21 million long-gun carrying cases and 7 million lockable gun cabinets

With a billion dollars, a reward of 1.8 million could have been offered toward solving each and every murder committed in Canada in 2002

A billion dollars would cover the cost of running every single courtroom in Canada for a year, and still leave enough money to purchase 20 brand new MRI machines for some lucky hospitals

If you made a one-year old child sit on the bathroom floor and drop loonies into the toilet at the rate of one every two seconds, 24 hours a day, he would be finished at age 65

The Liberal government has spent two (not one, but two) billion on the gun registry - so far

They have also misplaced a billion in failing to track land claim settlements through Indian Affairs

And over a billion in the HRDC scandal (remember that one?)

Do not forget

THIS WAS YOUR MONEY!!!!!

The End
