Typical reading comprehension issue from confux LOSER. LOL

You : Stornoway  is fine why would we renovate it? ?

Me: Who said anything about renovating Stornoway except you just now??

Me: Maybe we should renovate Stornoway and really give the Stornoway Squatter something to whine about??? 7+ years no rent, no taxes, no maintenance fees, plenty of staff, cooks cleaners grounds keepers etc." and then added all the repairs and renovations done to Stornoway in recent years.

Seems the one that needs, as you say " a team of top notch comedy writers to make you look more stupid than you make yourself look"

You literally just posted that I was right and you were wrong.  

Your first post was maybe we should renovate storaway

Neither of them are ever likely to live in it. I'm in fact of the two Poilievre has a better chance of it. This process will take a number of years to finish, carney will likely be long gone by then either way.  I mean it's going to be a year and change before they even select the winner of the design, it'll probably be 2 years or more before they even break ground and I doubt they'll get the repairs done in much less than three or four years

Actually Poilievre gets very little coverage because he's irrelevant.

Not to you, clearly.

Restoration of an historic building will always be much more expensive than a new build and in this case the builders will apparently face mould, rodents and asbestos for a start. On CBC’s Power and Politics the other day the figure of 100 million was disputed by the Liberal pol but we all know how these projects can get out of hand. It has to be done. 

The house isn't all that historic. And it's basically already been mostly gutted.

It's not like the parliament buildings, where there are carvings everywhere. It's just an older house that's on the large side. Homes like this get renovated regularly for a fraction of the numbers talked about.

Hold on, it’s not just a regular old house. This is exactly why nobody wanted to touch this matter with a barge-pole for so long. We can just pretend the problem isn’t there until it falls down.

It's a house purpose-built for a lumber baron. Yeah, it's old, but the cost isn't because it's old. The estimated costs of building a new one are almost as high. Which I again don't understand since they already own the land. Not the nicest house in Ottawa comes remotely close to these prices. No home in Ottawa has ever sold for much over $10 million, and half of that is the land.

There are documents that you can go through to show some of the problems but you have to remember it's not just a residence. Foreign dignitaries will be entertained there, events will be held there. The security considerations and communications technology that must be built into it as well as the surrounding grounds and the lavishness of the rooms to create a proper image of the wealth and power of our country are substantial, All of that drives the price up radically.

The thing is part show piece, heart museum, part entertainment facility, it has to be able to cook food for large amounts of people, it has to be a communication hub And it has to be a secure facility protected against attack of any type not just for the residents but for those visiting.

Complicating this will be if they want to try and keep the look or exterior or facade for historic purposes. He has been noted that it would be cheaper to just rip it down and rebuild from scratch without trying to salvage any of the existing look but some people are against that for historical reasons

I'm usually the first to complain about excessive government spending but honestly when you look at what they'd have to do and what it has to be when it's finished 50 million bucks seems like a reasonable price to me.

As much as I hate to admit it it is important our country to have an official residence that is suitably impressive. The white house in the states is a symbol of American power, 10 downing street and Buckingham Palacels of the power and authority of the British empire and united kingdom. Etc etc

And what do we currently have? A decrepid old building in mind the rats.

I don't quite like how he's going about it and I don't like that the liberals are getting a free ride for the fact that Trudeau ignored this for 11 years but I do see the need

[SpankyMcFarland]

This should not be a partisan issue. Prime ministers have lived there for seventy years and the house is as old as the country itself. I can’t imagine many countries begrudging the restoration of the residence of our head of government. Presumably, the restoration aspect massively adds to the price? We wouldn’t want to just gut the place although one could make an argument for that. I’m sure it would be a much cheaper option. Some of the estimates are alarmingly large. I’d like to see a fair degree of transparency about the costs as the project proceeds.

The reason it's going to be a partisan issue and to a degree rightfully so is that the liberals just spent 10 years saying no we're not going to do anything about this even though there was pressure from the right and other groups to tackle it.

Now they're presenting it as this big pride moment and they're doing interviews saying how proud they are to work for a government that's tackling this issue. Were they ashamed of the government when it was Justin Trudeau? Once again we're just supposed to forget how we got here and pretend this is a new government even though all the ministers are the same and carney was a part of the previous government for 5 years.

Harper spinmeister, Dimitris Soudas, thinks it’s a good idea, on X:

Quote

I applaud Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to restore 24 Sussex Drive.

This is not about a house. It is about Canada’s institutions.

For more than 75 years, 24 Sussex has been the official residence of Canada’s prime ministers. It has witnessed decisions that shaped our country, welcomed world leaders, and stood as a symbol of the continuity of our democracy. Allowing such an important national institution to deteriorate was never worthy of Canada.

What makes this announcement even more significant is that it has been informed by the wisdom and experience of those who have held the office before. Former Prime Ministers Stephen Harper and Jean Chrétien have long advocated for a non-partisan solution to preserve 24 Sussex and have offered their guidance and support to help ensure this national institution is restored for future generations. Their willingness to work across political lines is a reminder that some issues rise above partisanship and speak to our shared responsibility as Canadians. (Heritage Ottawa)

I’m not particularly devoted to this cause. Let’s hope the wilder three figure estimates of the millions involved don’t happen.
