About time, it's pretty embarrassing our head of government does not have a proper capital residence.

I really hope part of the plan is to find a way to depoliticize the whole process so this clown show doesn't happen again.

Pierre Polievre has already come out and said he wouldn't do it if elected and would instead spend his money on housing regular Canadians. That type of virtue signaling is why 24 Sussex is in the state that it is in.

This is the Conservative "not spending money is saving money" fallacy. Not spending money for necessary repairs and maintenance doesn't save money, it costs more in the end. If your roof needs fixing and you put off fixing it you're not saving money. Fixing your roof costs more when you eventually fix it and you likely have to repair water damage and replace insulation. This is what Harper did. He neglected everything from the military, to veterans, to government IT infrastructure, to search and rescue...the list goes on and on and on. When the Liberals finally won they had to spend money to fix all of the Conservatives neglect. Then the Conservatives complain about the Liberals spending. It's so fucking tiring.

You summed it up really well. It's so sad to compare the white house to Sussex drive. It should be a piece of history, not a falling down wreck. I don't think we should go as far as the states, but it should at least be kept in a reasonable state.
