Episode Details

The government’s launching a crowdfunding campaign to renovate Canada’s historic prime ministerial mansion — a place that’s hosted ten leaders since the 1860s — but the ethics behind it are raising eyebrows. While claiming to be non-partisan and restricting donations to Canadians, the site lets anyone contribute in any currency and doesn’t verify identities. Experts warn that without enforceable laws, these guidelines are just suggestions — leaving room for big donors to potentially sway outcomes. Should the public chip in, or should the government foot the bill? And with tens of millions on the table, the real question is: will this be a modest upgrade or a national landmark?
