I bet some of you never noticed this, and those who did have forgotten it. Pierre Poilievre tried to launch a scandal against the PM, claiming he was building a "secret palace" at taxpayers' expense. Let me fill you in....

The National Capital Commission, who oversees the maintenance on publicly owned buildings in Ottawa and area, got approval from Parliament to do necessary renovations on the Harrington Lake property while Harper was PM.
It is an old structure. Old buildings need work. The Harper government, of which Poilievre was a part, approved the plan to do maintenance and renovations. Harper spent most summers there and said he would like to retire there, although the property is for the use of the PM...
Which he would not be, after retirement, even if we had not voted him out in 2015. The work did not begin on the restoration until after 2015, because things move rather slowly in these matters.
Poilievre would have known about this. He would have voted on approving the work. And yet, in a desperate bid to unseat the duly elected PM, he tried to drum up a conspiracy theory worthy of the National Enquirer.
He posted these images and tried to sell Canadians on the notions that somehow our current PM was bilking taxpayers and feathering his nest. Even though Poilievre knew full well this was planned long before the 2015 election.
This is a blatant attempt to mislead the Canadian public. Just like the CPC attempt to pillory PMJT for buying a swing-set for the property with his own money. These people have no shame. Only entitlement and ambition. What you see in aerial photos is work trailers, not a mansion 
So, this is what the ethics level of the guy who seems to be the frontrunner in the CPC leadership contest looks like. It's not a glowing recommendation. In fact, it should be a neon beacon, screaming out "Charlatan! Grifter! Liar! Beware!"
