Canada’s Prime Minister’s Home Up For Grabs

Prime Minister Mark Carney has launched a national design competition to rebuild 24 Sussex Drive, Canada’s long-neglected prime ministerial residence, sparking debate over ethics and funding. The government will partner with the Rideau Hall Foundation to raise private donations — capped at 10% per donor — to offset costs, but critics warn this could violate laws or create conflicts of interest. A jury led by architect Moshe Safdie will judge proposals based on heritage, design, and construction expertise. Though Carney won’t reside there due to the timeline, he insists the project must reflect Canada’s values for future leaders — with a price tag likely in the tens of millions.
