## Resource

For more than a decade, 24 Sussex Drive has sat empty - a crumbling symbol of political paralysis, complete with asbestos, mould, and even rats. Now Prime Minister Mark Carney wants to change that, announcing a national design competition and a fundraising campaign to restore Canada's official prime ministerial residence. Is this a long-overdue investment in a national institution...or tonedeaf priority at a time when so many Canadians can't afford a home of their own? We discuss with Supriya Dwivedi (11:00) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY RapidEX FINANCIAL.

Jespo's surprised to find out not everybody did... 37:45 | Supriya and Ryan dig into new polling showing the Conservatives gaining on the Liberals, Carney's controversial "BC condo bailout" (44:00), and proof the majority of Canadians want Alberta to stay (51:15). 1:04:00 | Real Talkers have their say on the future of 24 Sussex in our Live Chat powered by Park Power.
