Can someone summarize? I don't want to click. Lol

I just happen to have watched this earlier so I'll indulge you this time.

Scheer is letting PP stay at the official opposition leader's well-staffed Stornoway mansion instead of taxpayers funding his family moving out, just to fund them moving in again when he likely wins in a by-election. Even the commenter in the video says that part doesn't matter and it's a non-issue. He also goes on to say it's a shame the PM's residence at 24 Sussex Drive hasn't been renovated in a long time, experts are saying it's "unlivable" but Trudeau and possibly Carney are afraid of political blowback for spending money on fixing it up.

Thanks! Sounds like a clickbait headline then.

The leader of the opposition is entitled to a house to stay in. PP isn't technically the leader any more because the opposition leader (unlike the PM) must hold a seat. Until he wins the by election he shouldn't really be living there.

Fuck that. Sell Stornoway. Use the money to renovate 24 Sussex. Opposition leaders do not deserve a free residence with staff.
