  1. Really? Is it not posh enough for Mr sparkle socks? Is this really a priority for our tax dollars to be wasted on right now?

  2. Some contractor is going to end up with alot of old wood and history
    And this after we spent how many millions on the cottage he visits frequently

  3. Knock it down and park a mobile home there for the PM to live in. How much room does he need? Live like a normal Canadian for awhile and see what it feels like.

  4. Renovate? Just turn off the heat and lights and take half of the food out of the cupboards so the PM can live like middle class Canadians are at the moment.

  5. When harper lived there, it was neglected & half closed off, with asbestos contamination, hvac, roofing & electrical issues. It hasnt been renovated since mulroney lived there, but it did get security upgrades after an attacker broke in during cretien’s time. So, how much value do we place on Canadian history ? Any $ spent on reno’s goes back into the economy anyway in local jobs & materials, & thereby means more income tax paid into gov’t account.

  6. It is part.of our history… not just his. Preserve it and find a way to open it to the public and make money on it! It’s been suggested as a museum… a wedding venue? Art in the park? And other events? B&B? Etc. It could be a great spot for the public to come and enjoy!

  7. $40,000,000.00 to renovate this home? The bridle path has homes more than twice the size and quality that don’t even cost that much to build from scratch.

  8. It needs to be done so that the PM, no matter from which party, can live in a secure, safe environment. The decrepitude of that abode is a disgrace to Canada.
