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.
