Even after this announcement, I'm unclear as to whether the intent is to keep the original structure, or tear it down and start over (which, tbh, is probably the smarter move).

Dead Horses, Fake Moms and Lying to Björk: Guy Maddin Explains ‘My Winnipeg’

Well, that being the case, I guess that means this plan is exactly as bad as any other possibility.
That's a helluva thing to imply about a charity set up by the GG.
“Donations” reeks of corruption like Trump’s White House ballroom boondoggle.
I don't really see the comparison. Nothing about this screams "vanity project," down to the fact that the work won't be done until long after his time as PM is over. And the fundraising is being handled by an established charity - it's pretty tough to paint a picture of influence-peddling.
So taxpayers don't have to foot the whole bill, the Rideau Hall Foundation would run a fundraising campaign to try and cover the costs, the source said.
Annoyingly convoluted, but it should help make it less of a political football.
Good call - it looks like they've put it up on their own media relations page, but aren't (yet) reporting it as "news".
Maybe. I'd be excited if it weren't for the ongoing Israel debacle.
In many cases, it looks like a funding issue - it's admittedly a pretty huge expense to be handled at the municipal level.
The various conspiracy theories are just icing on the cake.
If you're old enough, the original right-wing splinter party was the Reform Party (1987-2000).
The latest information published in 2022 shows 38.8 per cent of the country adds fluoride to municipal water, with little to no fluoride in New Brunswick, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, and British Columbia.
I was absolutely floored by this.

I see what you did there.
Definitely not a McMansion, but it's architectural significance has been described as "modest". And it doesn't seem very suitable for its actual task.
I probably would have favoured converting it into a museum and building a new official residence at a different location, but they seem intent on staying at this address.
