Perfect home for a boondoggle, inside another boondoggle!

....nobody's got any outrage around here about a $2 million artificial lake constructed out of taxpayer dollars for a meeting?

its not constructed for a meeting.

Its constructed for the media to report on the meeting.... used for an entire 72 hours.

How is that not a good thing?

So what? The lake is only $57K and it does promote Canada...just like a certain new builiding at the Fork will promote Winnipeg.

A $57K marketing pavilion has become a $2M 'lake' eh.

But Harper is starting to look like a Liberal with all his spending. tsk tsk tsk

There are only 250,000 lakes in Ontario, so the Feds figured that another one was in big demand! lol
Our politicians sure know how to watch their spending!

You have to love the Globe and mail Letters to Editor comments today!

1) "Fake Lake, fake Parliament"

2)It is the perfect metaphor for the Harper Government- "shallow, artificial and costly"

3) new magazine to highlight Harper's achievement at the G8-G20, to be called Harper's Bizarre.

Time for an election. Either to embolden the Conservatives or to boot them. Everyone knows that it would have been better to spend 20 million hiring helicopters to fly the reporters to remote northern lakes and leave no lasting legacy in TO.
