Prime Minister Mark Carney has launched a competition to pick a Canadian company to renovate 24 Sussex Dr., the official residence of the prime minister, which has been shuttered since 2015 because of its physical decline.
First built in 1868, the 35-room residence became the home for prime ministers in 1951 and served in that role through to 2015 when Justin Trudeau was unable to move his family in because of the state of the property.
“24 Sussex Drive is more than a residence, greater than a mere backdrop to history. It is a symbol of the public office of the head of our federal government and of the democratic tradition that office represents,” Mr. Carney said. “And yet, it has not been cared for with the respect it deserves.”
“We will not let it crumble. We will set it right,” he said.

In Toronto, a young Jewish girl named Esther has been missing for over a week. To make matters worse, people have been ripping down posters about her disappearance, just like they did with the hostage posters after 10/7—one of the more appalling things I've ever seen in my life.
Exner-Pirot exudes optimism "The certainty we got today on industrial carbon price framework, I think people at least can model it, can make some decisions, can go ahead with some things and start building."
"I think we're done with the headlines and it's time for the pipelines" @ExnerPirot
Lately, I’ve been asked why Canada should pursue an expensive greenfield West Coast oil pipeline when the cheapest option is to continue shipping to the United States.
Today, my op-ed in @globeandmail argues that, if a new pipeline is evaluated only on traditional commercial terms, it will never get built. A West Coast pipeline should be seen as insurance, providing access to tidewater and Asian markets when it matters most.
For a West Coast greenfield oil pipeline to happen, Canadians, governments, and industry will need new approaches to financing, ownership, and returns.
