Maureen McTeer wrote about what a shambles the place was 40 years ago can you imagine what a dump it is now?
Who knows? Maybe it would remind a PM less self-absorbed than True Dope that s/he is a servant, not a master.
Who is she ? Someone important or another political whore ? Maybe just a whore ?
I think we have squandered too many tax $$$$$ on the place to tear it down now. We should up the rent though.
This is 150 year old “Heritage” money pit, and I don’t think the current Prime Minister even spent the night there in the last six years though I could be wrong. He and his family reside at the Prime Ministers Cottage Where he ran parliament from single-handedly including all of his breathy moist daily Covid updates for months when he had parliament shut down.
Personally, I think the place should be ripped down and removed, and then replaced with a 48 suite low-rental complex on the same property footprint, and that it’s mandatory for the PM & family to reside in one of the suites while in office. It would put the elite in touch with actual real people fighting day today just to get through boredom and monotony while trying to feed their families.
With 400,000 new immigrants to Canada every year, this would utilize the land in a manner much more fitting to the current political concepts and would be a sign of putting the money where their mouth is, from sooo many different directions.
Ripping the place down and replacing it with something like this could probably be done for somewhat comparable dollar figure than tried to rehab this 150 year old monstrosity. Having whatever PM happens to be in power at any given time reside there also would be a great thing for realizing that Canadians aren’t just an abstract population to the elite.
In 15 years when it turns into its own little mini ghetto, and they need to revamp it, at least they’ll be starting with something with modern wiring and installation and doors and windows and meth and coke & crack and graffiti as opposed to the current building that nobody resides in.
I wonder how much 24 Sussex has cost us over the past 25 years for repairs and renovations.
I agree that it should be torn down and with the 36 million they are now saying it needs, there could be an amazing structure built.
Heritage be dammed, it is time to be sensible.

Put a doublewide on one corner of the property for the PM to live in. Market rent, of course.
Needing $36,000,000.00 in Reno’s? What’s the place actually worth? I tried to find that answer & the closest I could get was $7,200,000.00 so…?
Canadian Prime Minister Lists House for $7.2 Million
While we're mostly known for valuing fictional properties, on occasion we like to tackle real properties, such as the 24 Sussex Drive, home of Canada's prime minister and all around swanky pad.
www.movoto.com
The Last PM to actually reside there was Steven Harper in 2015….so it’s a vacant property (thank God it’s not in Vancouver or it would be punitively taxed for being empty, & that wouldn’t come out’a Justin’s trust fund I’m assuming).
If it’s worth $7.2 million needing $36 million in renos…if Reno’d, what would it be worth using the neighbouring properties for comparison? Maybe slightly more than $7.2 million?
By building a minimum 48 suite low rental complex on these 4 Acres, if would help by lowering the property values in that neighborhood achieving another goal of somehow lowering property values while still pumping in immigrants faster that housing can be built to house them.

But one should remember that was a woman's opinion! They can be a little overly concerned about stuff like decor. I see it in our own home every day.
That’s because Harper was voted in as the PM of Canada and 24 Sussex Drive is the Official Residence for the Prime Minister of Canada. He wasn’t an entitled trust fund prick I guess.
It wasn’t good enough for Justin Trudeau though, so when he shut down parliament to hide from various committees on WE & the Winnipeg BioLab Fiasco, we got these pretend daily Covid updates delivered moistly & breathily from the driveway of the PM cottage from the PM Circus Tent.

Give turdOWE a tent. Like he has forced so many Canadian citizens to live in.
His Butler, or one of their three Travelling Nanny’s might? Maybe his security staff or someone in his Entourage like his personal photographer can figure it out?
Lord help them if the tent has a light bulb in it. How many members of TrueDope's entourage will it take to change the light bulb?
His personal photographer can probably figure it out , there must be lots of light bars and such in the fifteen crates of equipment he ships around .
FIRST READING: Renovation costs for 24 Sussex don’t even attempt to make sense — National Post
$36 million could buy all 10 of the most expensive homes currently for sale in the Ottawa area
If Canadians are hesitant to fix up the prime minister’s house, it might be a matter of price. According to the National Capital Commission, any renovation of the 12,000-square-foot home would require at least $36.6 million.
Heritage renovations aren’t cheap, but it’s safe to say that it’s a figure well beyond anything that would be considered for any equivalent 34-room mansion.
At the above link is a cursory look at what $36.6 million buys you in the current Canadian real estate market.
