Summary
Canada’s taxpayers are being asked to stop funding Stornoway, the historic 9,500-square-foot official residence for the opposition leader — a G7-only perk dating back to 1914. Sparked by citizen Carole Burman, the petition argues it’s outdated and expensive, costing nearly $80K annually with $1.25M needed for repairs over the next decade. Even Green Party leader Elizabeth May supports the push, as debates intensify amid plans to renovate the Prime Minister’s residence. The petition heads to Parliament this fall, demanding a 45-day government response. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
