Meh
Literally no one in the working class cares
Fixing the PM’s poor housing before fixing the mess they’ve made of Canada’s housing… well the headlines would write themselves.
I think a dilapidated shack is the perfect symbol for Ottawa.
Because no PM since at least Mulroney wanted to be seen as spending taxpayer money on themselves
I think the PM should still be living there. As a reminder of the quality of housing most Canadians can afford.
They really should just tear it down and rebuild a proper facility.
As much as it will be politically hot to spend 50+ million on a home for the PM it’s a reasonable thing to do
Whatever, bulldoze the place and build a new one… this idea of saving all these old buildings is ridiculous.
Unless the security features of a building are top notch and our PM needs that top tier security feature I’m not sure if it makes sense to have houses for elected officials any more.
Don’t get rid of them, they would make excellent museums but I don’t think we need them any more.
Just my impulsive opinion this morning. Would love to hear an argument for them as actual residences still.
I couldn’t care less about the PM’s public housing.
Agreed – this should have been taken care of 15+ years ago, but too many people wanted to make political fodder of the official residence of the Prime Minister so now we’ve passed the point of no return.
Budget $300 million towards a whole new, state-of-the-art residence that captures some of the elements of the existing structure and get on with it.
Most Canadians can’t afford a home.
It’s fitting that the PM doesn’t have one either.
Haven’t read the article yet, but I’ve always felt that the state of 24Sussex Drive was a symbol of just how pathetic our government has become.
Like, just make a damn decision already, spend money, don’t spend money, renovate, rebuild, I don’t give a shit. But a G7 country should have a proper residence for its world leader, both respective if their position, but also to represent Canada globally, display Canadian culture through architecture, entertainment foreign dignitaries, and just not squat in the backyard of the GG.
It’s disgraceful, but they’re afraid of voters. The government needs to make decisions, not just the ones that are politically popular.
I know it’s a small, but that’s exactly why it’s symbolic of our dysfunction.
One of the only good things Trudeau did other than legalizing weed was move into Rideau cottage. Let’s save taxpayers money and sell this thing off. While we’re at it we can sell off the PM’s summer home as well. They only need one house.
