We’re a G7 country. Fix it and get the fuck on with it.
Pierre Polievre is already virtue signaling.
This is why it’s in the state it’s in. I’m so sick of this right wing idiot.

That is addressed in the article. There are still security concerns as well as the bad optics of the leader of Canada living in the King’s Representative’s backyard.
Oh ya I read that, but I don’t believe the optics are bad, no one in Canada cares about those optics of living in the kings back yard, there are soooo much more important things to Canadians. And the drone attacks they keep mentioning have never occurred (at least in a first world nation).
