This is a picture of a real lake. It's a lake in BC, one of thousands and thousands in the province. Pretty lakes, impressive lakes. And although BC may be "The Best Place on Earth", even it doesn't have a monopoly on nice lakes. Canada is full of them. And check out the green stuff at the edge of the lake. That's real grass, not Astroturf.So why, in all that's holy, does our federal "government" feel the need to spend any amount of money to create a fake lake surrounded by Astroturf in downtown Toronto, or whatever part of the center of the universe the G20 clowns are meeting in? I realize there is very little "nature" left in southern Ontario, but a fake lake, using taxpayers' money??? Have these goofs completely lost their marbles?
The so-called leaders of the G20 represent countries and governments that have accumulated massive national debts and generally mismanaged things so badly that the world's economy is closer to meltdown than we want to imagine. Hosting this bunch at our expense and supporting the media circus that seems to go with such meetings, with a security cost exceeding $1 billion? Words almost fail me.
Fortunately I have just enough words left to remind everyone that this is a minority government that simply just doesn't "get it". They don't seem to understand the term "fiscal prudence", they don't understand environmental issues or human rights concerns. This G20 spending debacle is simply the latest in a string of disasters from Harper and his gang. It's time for them to go.
