Sounds like Canada would be better off leaving the decision on Sussex Dr until after the election, but they won't.

I thought 24 Sussex was gutted years ago…
In theory, Trudeau’s chosen (not elected) replacement PM is suppose to be coronated literally tomorrow…so this is supposedly Trudeau’s last day as PM…

The NCC is responsible for the management of the six official residences in Ottawa, including 24 Sussex. The home has been vacant since 2015, when Trudeau was first elected, and sits in disrepair. The NCC officially closed the residence in 2022 and workers have since stripped it of mould, asbestos, lead and the rodents (elected or otherwise) living inside.

They got as far as building the nuke shelter.

The land is worth something. The building is a liability. Get rid of the building & figure it out from there.
Since all the expensive work has already been done, tear it down and put a modular on the lot for a new official residence. Maybe living like a taxpayer will change the PM's outlook on government.

Wah. He's getting in properly under your system.

Still, it's a jump on "Rigged!"
Actually, it's not. It's been determined from when Trudeau initially said he was stepping down when a new leader was chosen that Carney would be "the man" and that's exactly what happened. It was "rigged!!"

You should try democracy. Just for a change of pace.

Y'know, something a bit more modern than some wiggy 18th-century Brit.
