The pool is meant to simulate the charm of Ontario's cottage country in the heart of downtown Toronto, giving journalists a taste of Huntsville, Ont., where the G8 summit will be held Friday before the G20 begins in Toronto on Saturday.

The lake is part of a $1.9-million tourism pavilion called Experience Canada in the summit media centre that has come under criticism for being too costly.


The 3,700-square-metre pavilion includes the lake display to feature Ontario's northern wilderness and an urban section (ie photos of the Stock Exchange) to promote Ontario businesses and innovations. A reception area offers refreshments

6. The very same. The only bright spot is that Canadians are livid with

It is inconceivable that any pol, let alone a slash and burn pol could be so stupid a waste this amount of money at this time.
