Let’s just remember that anytime any PM acquires new aircraft or even floats the idea of fixing up 24 Sussex, the opposition screams corruption.
Chretien screamed at Mulroney’s “Flying Taj Mahal” when the latter bought the afore-mentioned CC-150 Polaris (all of which were USED Airbus 310s from a defunct airline and by all accounts fairly utilitarian inside).
Harper similarly screamed at Chretien’s 2 “new” Challenger jets that uwish mentioned, IIRC these are LEASED aircraft.
Conservatives also had a scream-fest when Trudeau refused to move his young children in to the dilapidated and unhealthy 24 Sussex.
For decades MPs proudly showed off their horrid offices on parliament hill, complete with leaking overhead pipes, black mould on the walls, and staff working in their unheated offices in gull winter parkas.
The whole thing is just a shitshow of Canadian ridiculousness
wow I actually agree with BF!
