Race\u002Dexclusionary hiring is back!

We apologize, but this video has failed to load.The Canadian prime minister typically performs almost all of his executive office functions out of the former Langevin Block, a four-storey 1889 office building that faces Parliament Hill. The house at 24 Sussex, meanwhile, is reserved almost exclusively for eating, sleeping and family time.

at Rideau Hall or at a guesthouse nearby. For press conferences, banquets and official events, the prime minister’s office leans on a smattering of government halls or rented rooms. “Most G7 and Commonwealth leaders receive official visitors in a space dedicated for these purposes,” reads the report. “Canada currently lacks such a facility.”

The Palazzo di Quirinale, official residence for the president of the Italian republic. Unlike Canada, Italy had several thousand years’ worth of accumulated palaces to choose from.“While previous prime ministers and their staff have ‘made do’ with the space provided with the current residential facility, the building has naturally limited the functions that could be performed, and now falls short when compared to other G7 and Commonwealth nations,” it reads.

So, Canadians endure the gas tax ,high prices and financial hardship but the ' ive got you' OM can get a damn new expensive residence. How!

Does this prick never stop wasting our money they spent a boat lod fixing the old place up when the SCUMBAG first got voted in

He should have to buy his own home so he understands the inflation he's brought on to the 🇨🇦 people.. JustinFlation

Just what we need...a new PM residence in addition to a renovated retreat + Stornaway. The records of the last 5 years surely Demonstrates none of them deserve more than to pay for their own residences...like their constituents!

We have inlimited amount of cash in Canada.. why not! To protect a corrupt little bastard!

Check with Anna and Pierre polliviere first

Be sure and ask Poilievre his choice of colour scheme as he will be residing in it.

If it’s for our current PM there is appropriate accommodation in Kingston.

Best place for him is Dorchester prison

… and a new PM. cdnpoli

Tear it down, and the budget should be no more than $2 million. Oh wait the budget will balance itself.

So prime minister who represents canada should live a hut. Unless they are conservatives.

He is heading to GITMO

Canada is in a coast to coast housing crisis.... but hey let's focus on the residence of the PM who has driven the greatest increase in housing prices and inflation in history.

Replace the existing residence….this narrative has gone on long enough……to many years!

Why does a Prime Minoster need a residence that’s paid for by tax payers?

Majority of people cannot afford a home in this country but as long as JustinTrudeau has a new home for “ FREE “ ….this government couldn’t be a bigger waste money!

I'm ok with a big project. We have one of the largest economies in the world. Let's step up.

Might as well totally destroy the national debt.

The guys has been in power for 69 years and hasnt even lived at the residence. Also why in tf is there a residence for the PM in the first place? the only place he should be is in Parliament. Make him a bed in there

500 million for a new residence and offices for the government. Sweet! Well deserved… wonder what the carbon foot print looks like on that construction project.

I would love to own my own home someday. At this rate it will never happen. Would love to see some true leadership from Ottawa.

If it’s for Justin,build a dog house!!

Why should the prime minister of Canada not have a safe place to live and host world leaders

Everyone: omg, there's a housing crisis. Trudeau: I'm glad everyone agrees I should be living in the cottage. Let's build me a new house.

If it's going to cost $36 million to fix the old one, and it's only worth $12 million, seems like it's about time to replace it. Sucks that basic maintenance and repairs have been turned into a political matter, but here we are.

I'd say save money during this time revisit in 2025 I mean PM is getting divorced so really doesnt need the big residence & would be nice to quit the spending in economic crisis

TrudeauTheTyrant needs a new castle.

If the residents that’s been updated through the years isn’t good enough for who ever it is. They not need to run for prime minister. Enough Ottawa of waisting our money

That’s a spit in The face to all of the Canadians that can’t afford a house because of out of control inflation.

What a flippin castle next?

Good. It's about time.

It’s quite laughable - the abject ignorance - has people believing Trudeau is responsible. The NCC has been around, in several iterations, since 1899 and is tasked with overseeing the upkeep of Capital Region realty. 60 years of underfunding has resulted in these costs.

Trudeau is becoming more like Ludwig every day.

Seriously? Hasn't JT abused enough of our money? Canadians can't afford basic needs but king Justin lives like a god.

Spend 36 million to repair the old? It is worth considering looking at a new residence.

Poll: Put it on pause?
