50 million for the G8, not near ready.
OMG. A restroom nearly 50 km away? 50 million for the G8? 2 million for park improvements over a hundred km away .... I think Harper has gone nuts.

1. Ridiculous.
To think that my tax dollars are being used for this sickens me.

2. Well it seems only fitting....
a fake lake for the media demands a restroom nowhere near anything to do with the G8 is occurring and park improvements needed for the security of the fake lake and the isolated restroom. What's to question?

What a fucking farce but what else is new with this fucking farce of a government, minority no less.

3. I assume Toronto gets something from this legacy program, then?
After all, according to the article, John Baird says, "A limited number of projects (are) designed in the legacy to say, ‘Listen, the folks in this region are going to endure a heck of a lot of security, a heck of a lot of challenges during that G8 summit, and just as a thank you we're supporting some public infrastructure projects...'"
