State Secret Revealed: Just days after Gregoire threatened to divorce Trudeau

Canada’s National Capital Commission (NCC), the federal agency that manages national heritage properties including the Prime Minister’s homes, was directed to construct a sprawling second mansion at Harrington Lake by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) in late 2019 — shortly after the federal election in October and just days following turbulence in the marriage of Justin Trudeau and Sophie Gregoire, a source inside the PMO tells The Chronicle.

The $8.6 million in federal spending was not publicly disclosed until April of this year, which included $3 million to renovate the main house, $2.5 million to reconstruct and relocate what has been described as a caretaker’s house on the grounds, and $3.6 million to construct a second mansion that is intended for the Trudeaus’ use.

Just days after Gregoire threatened to divorce Trudeau last October, when she first began refusing to sleep under the same roof with him, the PMO ordered the NCC to proceed with millions of dollars in unplanned projects at the Prime Ministerial retreat.

“Spending millions of dollars to accommodate the evolving nature of the Prime Minister’s marriage is not fair to the Canadian taxpayer,” the disgruntled political staffer explains.

Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller said recently in the book, Promise and Peril (2019), that “Trudeau goes to Harrington Lake to get away and chill and not be judged when he’s chilling.“
