This should not even be brought up or a question right now with the way that people and suffering in this housing market.
200,000$ water filter and 6 maids.
Hey PM Trudeau has done his bit for housing. He's helped three families move in and out of Stornoway
It's pretty embarrassing on a national stage though
Just fix it up
I think it's good they are discussing it because it is not PM Trudeau just being ultra fussy about where to live as many try to spin it.
Yeah, let's just embarass Canada everytime we have foreign visitors. God forbid we spend another $.
The rats are attracted to the King of rats.
Security wasn't an issue for all the previous prime ministers I wonder why now
It was always an issue. An assassin broke into the PM's bedroom in the 1990s.
There were no drones a few years back.
How about in a cell
The Prime Minister should get in line for housing, 10 plus years waiting list
Who does he need to be safe from? CANADIANS
you have some personal issues that you need to resolve
@acquirecurrencylol The only personal issue she needs to resolve is marking down her ballot.

@murrethmedia Funny you brought that up... because Pierre Poilievre ripped down a flagpole to use as a spear. If he were PM, he could act as his own security.
the convoy crazies that wanted to hang him thats who
Here at Regional District of Nanaimo have been waiting 28 months for a building permit for a 1000sqft house. $45,000 in red tape still no end in sight. Just last month they nailed me another $4500 in permit fees. Yes we have a housing shortage and that is 100% due to government employees willful incompetence.
Let us place the blame squarely where it belongs: Area A Rep Jessica Stanley and Chairman Vanessa Craig.
And in the city of Nanaimo it is even worse with far leftist Krog as Mayor.
Our property taxes went up 32% last year, 22% the year before. Services all go down and taxes continue to go up.
My brother in a small town payed over $15,000 AND NEVR TURNED A SOD OF SOIL for a small shop...PATHETIC
Remember, you never own your own home.
The NRD isn't an arm of the federal government-it is provincial jurisdiction. Your problems with the NRD is not Trudope's fault.
Furthermore, we, as citizens of BC (I live in the CRD), have no say over who is appointed to the regional district boards in this province-typically, they're appointed by the mayors of the cities/municipalities within the regional district (usually from elected municipal councillors or the mayors themselves).
Would I be right in guessing you don't vote in municipal elections or pay attention to municipal politics?
I'm so sorry that you are treated like this by your own government. they should all go to jail
Trudeau needs to be moved to the penitentiary 🤬
or a tent
..on the streets like a lot of Canadians
It's sad that we don't bother to keep up our historic properties in this country like they do in the UK and the US. It shouldn't be a partisan issue.
Not being rude but didn't think Canada had that many historical properties worthy of preservation
Get every surviving PM to donate to the restoration. They let it get this way.
excellent suggestion. Justin x 2 to make up for his dad.
Per each term they were in office
It's not that simple, more-on. The building was in bad shape when it was first occupied. It should never have been bought and used for the purpose it was.
😂 this is so funny...they are afraid of the people Ayyyeee
This is terrible...
I think Trudeau should live in a double wide mobile home somewhere in the Northwest Territories. The residence he lives in should reflect how well he is doing his job. Better make that a single wide and a used one.
He is doing a great job. With your logic, he should live in a giant mansion.
I was more thinking a prison cell
Give him a tent
or a 650 SQ foot apartment like most of us do, that way he will have more incentive to get housing resolved
More like a box on some pallets down under the over pass total hobo hut
He's not showing much interest because he won't be PM much longer.
It's not about Justin Trudeau, it's about whoever becomes PM in the future, and their successor and their successor after them.
This is just sick! We are being driven to homelessness and the PM needs a new house?
That we have o pay for n
Maybe Justin should try out a tent like so many other Canadians
I doubt you would say the same thing if little pp was PM.
Cardboard box or bus shelter
@@colind7678
PP didn't create the mess we are in today.
This new house would be for the next PM.
@@fkb247 PP FOR PRISON
Trudeau should be in a prison cell. Tear it down and build a smaller house.
This fills me with rage - and I'm a liberal. Renovate it and let the homeless move in, he can stay @ Rideau cottage until the housing crisis is over. Why would they be using those valuable resources and labour while peeps working 2 jobs can't afford apartments in our city centres due to a housing shortage?
Might be cheaper to just tear it down and rebuild rather than try to renovate.
@@Sorcerers_Apprentice maybe cheaper, but it is still a historic building.
I don't understand: if the location is not safe, then why did they build the residents there in the first place? That makes no sense to me.
@@breebartkowiakova in 1866, when it was built, the country wasn't filled with morons and things like car bombs weren't a threat.
@@breebartkowiakova It was probably okay back in the day. But cities expand and new technology like drones present new security concerns.
How about in a house that he/she owns and pays for rather than one provided by the taxpayer!
Regardless of who owns the home it needs to be secured by the RCMP, that costs taxpayer money. If we had to do it with a new house each time that would cost more than just having a house we the people own that Prime Ministers and their families can move into and out of.
And if you say the Prime Minister doesn't need security respectfully, you're wrong.

Like it or not he is the Prime Minister.@@ianhowes8141
Shouldn’t we ask Poilievre where he wants to live?
His personal home is in Ottawa, I think. What if he lives there?
You want to elect Poilieve so he can steal two years of OLD AGE SECURITY AND GUARANTEED INCOME SUPPLEMENT FROM THE OLD PEOPLE-AGE 65 AND 66. You can wait til you are 67 to get them. Harper and Pierre P. Made that law. The Liberals gave it back. And they stole money from vets. You wait til he gets in office. You won't know what hit you.
He was asked, kinda dodged the question
A recent interview, he answered this question
@@Mooseracks he said its at the bottom of his priority list, gave some generic line about how the residence needs to be secure, claimed there were other places we could host dignitaries, then pointed the finger at Trudeau for construction a second mansion at Harrington Lake (and okay fair critique, but not relevant)
Pierre is better at dodging questions than Trudeau (since he still gives u something) but it was still a dodge
he never explicitly said if he intends to move into 24 Sussex or where he intends to live at all should he win 2025, which is what people wanted to know
If the prime minster dose a good job no need to be afraid ... justin will need a bunker some where cause he isnt safe any where
A bad Prime Minister is one that doesn't make anyone mad. The Great ones are the ones that piss off the right people, the terrible ones piss off everyone.
I just don't care at all about this issue. Canadians know that we will be the one's paying for anything that is decided and it will likely be the most expensive option. It sounds like 24 is a tear down.
Agree. The bureaucracy cannot be trusted with repairs.
It can't be torn down due to it being a historical building.
@@christamead3753 _“The bureaucracy cannot be trusted with repairs.”_
The bureaucracy doesn't perform the repairs, more-on. They call for private sector bids in a public tender to affect the repairs, based upon contract requirements and scope.
It's not exactly comparable to Downing St or the White House. These are also serving as the principal workplace. 24 Sussex is just a residence. It's more comparable to The Lodge, for Australia's PM.
And you can't really compare the The White House to No 10. One lives a head of state and the other doesn't
Bubba, over at Millhaven, is saying he has an open bunk that he would love to have filled by the PM.
Save a spot for PP the alt right CLOWN
IMO this shouldn't be a partisan issue. I'm not a supporter of Justin Trudeau, but he and all of our future Prime Ministers should have a safe and secure place for them and their family to call home.
Serious question: Could the residence be built as part of the Parliament Hill complex?
I think they should just renovate where he lives now. If there is an issue with having the governor general and the prime minister on the same property then give them governor general the boot. Why are we giving the governor general which is a useless position this massive place to live while the PM lives in the "cottage". Turn Rideau Hall into Canada's White House. Maybe rebuild 24 sussex drive and move the governor general there.
Carcasses and excrement is definitely what that address is known for housing, at least for the last several years.
Current PM deserves to be in the Big House!
He and Trump could share one on one of the Thousands Islands. Is Bolt Castle in the winter, too harsh?
He doesn’t deserve more as he doesn’t think Canadians should have a home
😂😂😂😂😂
We should ask Pierre where he wants to live
Tear it down and replace it.
We can look after the Ukraine, China infrastructure, every other cause, now it is where Trudeau lives. Insanity.
Source on Canada looking after China's infrastructure?
The asian infrastructure fund. Canada gives $220 million a year. Wake up and learn.@@ben5154
@@ben5154I was thinking the same thing!
The Government has spent upwards of 30+million dollars on this property since Trudork moved in in 2015. Typical now they want to abandon it 😠
He never moved into 24 Sussex in 2015, more-on. He's been living in the grounds-keeping cottage at Rideau Hall since he was first elected, because 24 Sussex was left in such a state of disrepair by its former occupant.
The PM just needs a decent modest middle class secure house for their family. All entertaining of dignitaries etc... Can be hosted at other secure government properties without burdening Canadian taxpayers. How many expensive building can the PM and GG expect to grift on Canadian taxpayers 💸🧦🤡🎉💳🏧 🇨🇦 🚨🚔
Decent modest doesn't describe our PM at all.
With today’s housing prices and the way Trudeau has screwed the economy, our government probably can’t even afford that.
Quite a lot of space from the road compared to 10 Downing Street in London.
Downing Street (the road) has been closed to the public since 1991. Shutting down Sussex Drive to traffic isn't feasible, since it's a major boulevard.
Pierre's attitude about a home for Canada's Prime Minister is a clear tell of what his policies will be regarding foreign affairs. Libertarians' are nationalist that really don't think outside their own little world.
resign
A hall should be made available at the Parliamentary Buildings for State Dinners and the greating of dignitaries. Use the hotels for the accomodation of them. Build a nice 6 bedroom home for the Prime Minister. They should not be entertaining dignitaries at home. Leave it at the Parliamentary Buildings which sit empty over half of the time anyways.
WOW that is just like any third world country would do.
Exactly
Rideau Hall already does that function
Um... if I recall there are a whole bunch of heritage regulations that make it difficult to tear down a building of that age....
The PM should go and rent a place to live so he understands what his policies are doing to people.
Give the people living on the streets a home first.
Why not just turn 24 Sussex into a museum? Like Museum of Prime Ministers. Sure it would be expensive but eventually from ticket sales at some point in the future the money would come back. It would suck to demolish such a historic place
I still don’t get why Trudeau didn’t just renovate it when he first won
The guy survived how many scandals? I feel like he could have beaten this easily
He could openly and honestly explain that it’s in disrepair and can’t host foreign dignitaries without embarrassing the country
How about the official residence of the British PM, 10 Downing St.? It's 300 years old! I don't see them moving to a different (newer) location.
Not quite...It was gutted in the 1950's
@@piusx8317 Gutted, perhaps, but not torn down.
@@janetkoster6243But No10 is more historic than 24 Sussex. I doubt anyone outside of Canada would know what 24 Sussex is 😂 That's the difference
He can wear a mask.
How about he live with the homeless for a while? He has increased their population
Its shelf life is over. Cant we just open a new house after tearing down this current one?
Think of any other country that would let this happen. Imagine the Palace of Versailles, the Royal Palace of Madrid, the White House or any of the royal families houses in England. We are the only ones who let national monuments and symbolic places fall into disrepair.
We will just sell it to some wealthy person(s) from India or China as is the Canadian tradition since the traitor Harper days.
Thank you!!!! We are so ducking cheap!!!! Imagine the prime minister doesn’t have an address!!! 👀🤣😂😅🤷🏾♂️
It's not just the repairs. It's in an unsafe location. Just sell it, take the money and build a secure 5,000 sq ft home on 6-10 acres in a safe place.
The amount of money taxpayers have paid over the years should have been enough to maintain it!
@@jamesryan7684 I don't understand: if the location is not safe, then why did they build the residents there in the first place? That makes no sense to me.
Shouldn't this "Emperor" be more concerned with his invisible clothes?
I feel pm Trudeau should be court ordered to live in the designated residence that our country has agreed to provide such to his position.
He would know then what he's forcing the rest of Canadians to live in when has only refusal to accept. Should we not refuse aswell when we aren't even demanding a lavish lifestyle that he does?
He is.
Who cares: let him go out on the market and suffer what Canadians have to endure for themselves and their families, either renting or buying. It's what he deserves. This is his legacy: It's not possible for the average family to find homes, and even jobs. Worse we have lost hope. This will be his legacy: Canadian families living in tents and motor homes parked on supermarket parking lots.
Is this just more removing Canadian history.. I say Justin should pay for it's repair out his millions. 😮
24 Sussex has been a money waster for decades now. As one of the richest countries on earth Canada deserves a residence worthy of the office. It is embarrassing to have Presidents and others visit Canada and have our PM living in out of date residences. Spend the money and do it right.
LOL. All previous Prime Ministers were safe living 50 meters from Sussex Drive,
Fix it, turn it to a museum, or sell it...just do something!
Get rid of it along with current PM. Both need to go.
Funny how it was safe enough for all the other Canadian Prime Ministers who lived there...
Times have changed..
@@KumariKumari-fw7nc how so?
"Oh, Canada..."
The White House sits in the middle of down town DC on a 6-8 lane street. It is 200 yo house. Completely remoddled in late 1940's. Yearly updates & maintenance takes care of the rest. Paid, public tours are run daily. Jackie Kennedy set up comission for donations of historic furniture, dish ware, artifacts etc. Guide books are sold. The White House is at least partially self substaing.
Yes and you failed to point out that the white house is paid for by over 300 million Americans many of which pay far more taxes than we do.
The White House was always a primary work-place for the POTUS and their administration-its role as the POTUS's residence has always been a secondary function.
24 Sussex is only a residence.
@@MelioraCogito Was 24 sussex not a place for entertainment of dignitaries as well?
@@bobcrane9945 _“Was 24 sussex not a place for entertainment of dignitaries as well?”_
Only gatherings of small numbers of guests-no more than any other large residence.
Larger formal gatherings would be held at Rideau Hall (the GG's residence), which is a short walk from 24 Sussex, or elsewhere.
Actually daily tours only operate 4 days a week 10-2pm and are free compared to Buckingham Palace which is only open 3 x months a year a charge a fee. The White House is a symbol of America and is one of if not the most famous residence of a head of state in the world. 24 Sussex is just a house of prime minister
Unreal..................One way ticket to Guantanamo Bay
Our king wants a new castle, who's surprised? The dud has been pushing for this since he was elected. CBC has covered this before, it started with 'renovations' and it will cost us millions.
This garbage king already had build 2 BIG residences in the middle of the forest one for him and one for his wife back 3 years ago when actually they got separated and requested both residences to be build closed to each other to be able to stay in touch with the children. Those were build by tax payers money the story was on internet back them ,no media on tv channel didn’t want to touch the subject so now why they are not investigate him for the corruption and take those houses away? In one the PM can leave in the other one the governor can stay…
This wasn't recommended by Trudeau.
In a van down by the river.
I am worried,
How Canadians will compete to others
Where their Brains nowadays only thinking on Food, Clothes, Water, and Affordability.
When we will expand our thinking outside of this boundaries and contribute to good productivity on science and businesses?
So why didn’t the PM say something They are to blame for letting it go
CLOSE the Sussex drive and move the road away.
Don't move the historic residence of prime minister away.
PM official residence to be moved to either Sesame Street or Disney Land where Trudeau can join with other fir brain characters. Demolish the 24 Sussex and build an energy efficient home representing current technology available to upper middle class -- maybe inclusive of an elevator, ramps, and a charge port. Maybe give it a Château exterior.
it is a disgrace that the money that has poured into it to get this way .!!
The real housing crisis Canadians care about good job CBC
Why is 24 Sussex too close to the road?
I guess if CBC is doing a piece on it, it must mean they’re finally going to spend the money to fix it
I don,t see what the big deal is about 24 Sussex . The Liberal government loves to waste money. Why bring up a little insignificant issue like that . Renovate it for God sake ! Create some jobs at the same time The method to the madness must be to stick the next government with the cost or to push the issue to take focus away from other important issues . Give us a break .
I know of a place Justin can live! Jail for the rest of his life!
Doesn't the PM have 4 houses he currently rotates in?
Noce timing.. as we have a housing crisis.
So out of touch!
101 Calgary Drive
Put a Prime Minister in there that not everyone hates...
This one belongs in a cell.
Regardless of which party has been in power, it's a disgrace that we don't have a decent residence for the PM. It's been such a political hot potato for generations that nobody will deal with it.
Maybe we should move the PM to Rideau Hall and build a new house at 24 Sussex for the GG.
They should build a high rise geared to income at 24 Sussex Justin and the kids can live in the penthouse.
Abolish the GG and there you go, a residence for current and future PM’s.
How much have taxpayers paid to redo the cottage already? I heard 12 million.
So glad they are covering this love you Justin Trudeau your a great prime minister I have the upmost respect for you and feel like you have done so many important things that needed to be done so that they would be finally dealt with maybe they can take the look of the new place in a couple of the rooms look like they are similar in design but are brand new like an electric fireplace not a normal one if so though it’s gotta be with all the newer innovations and I know that they might like it still for the fireside chats which are lovely but ya it’s like really so cold if it isn’t always being used but it’s like a bad thing if ur outta wood and it’s a big opening up to the freezing cold so either way its eco friendly just lots of work to do each day grabbing the wood pile and bringing it beside the fireplace to stack up to burn so it’s not cold gets to be a real sob but there’s benefits of a wooden fire place because of the fact it could be necessary once a backup generator is used up but ya I think electrical is best for the fact it’s not letting air in I don’t know if the older ones had the shutters but most likely though
Rip it down and build a modern home there ,you could build a nice home for less than 3million.
Get rid of the GG and move him into that residence.
Build a 30’ thick reinforced concrete wall, 20’ tall and just seal him inside.
Any dump will do 🎉
4 million to reno, not a person who knows anything about construction. 4 million gets you a great NEW residence.
So...for every other PM, this has been acceptable. (How this went on...I don't know). Now Trudeau wants a new house. How much is this going to cost us?
oh no where will he live? Where will all these people live?
Put him in the 15 mile city
24 Sussex is an embarrassment to Canadians.
🙄 you're kidding right...like a king hunting for his newer larger castle while he tosses crumbs down to peasants. Absolute insanity in my opinion. Fix the damn house. He's got the money to do it not to mention pest control is a very real thing. Other civilians have to deal with, repair and remedy these issues how is he more important than us. Legitimately let the rest of Canadians send him pest control bills and renovation costs not the other way around WITAF
Tear it down … temporarily move the GG somewhere while a new home is built and temporarily move the PM in RH
He probably wants a pink Barbi castle
Lots of security at Heddingly Jail
Poor timing for him to think about this Canadian’s are suffering
So switch the gov genera into the cottage and Justin and the kids go into her house
Where will the PM live next? Let's hope in a jail cell.
Jail is best option
Send him AND the CBC permanently to outer space….FOREVER‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️…
he never there keep giving a home
The (next) prime minister could just stay in his own home. He just lives an hour away from downtown Ottawa, presuming it's in his riding in Carleton.
May be build an under ground 8x4 house for him will be saved for ever😂
