[fuji]

The Federal Government is spending $1.9 million to build a fake Muskoka lake in Toronto in case any foreign reporters want to know what Muskoka is like, but can't be bothered to go there to see it.

Well, in Florida we have Disney EPCOT Center's 'World Showcase' for people who want to know what Europe is like, but can't be bothered to go there to see it lol.

I don't often agree with Layton, but he has a point when he says that Canada probably has more lakes than any other country in the world. Why are we spending $2mil on a fake lake? What's wrong with the real ones?

Maybe Halliburton is building that fake lake....
