It's a $57,000 "water feature"

The fake lake being built at the media centre for the G20 and G8 summits is actually only going to cost taxpayers $57,000 out of a budget of $1.9 million, said a spokesperson for the Ministry of Public Works to The Globe and Mail.

The rest of the money is supposedly being spent on graphics, food, drinks and media communications material.

Totally makes sense.

Not.

"They also stressed that the much maligned fake lake is not a lake at all. 'It's a water feature,' I was told," wrote Siri Agrell for the Globe and Mail.
