Rick and Parliament Reno

[@Leggir]

I love Rick's stories. I did see the Elizabeth May joke coming a mile away.

[@WilliamPitcher]

Can't believe that Rick did not ask the Minister how she felt about installing a glass ceiling in Parliament.

[@alexandrebigeau773]

I'm working on the Centre Block project right now! Amazing experience... once in a lifetime.

[@nanaimosteve5952]

All that hot air will fog up the glass.

[@carolinesoles4848]

Rick.....you have the coolest job!!!! Please tell me they let you keep your signature there!! You rebel you!!!!! You are always doing crazy stuff like that!!! Keeps them on their toes!!!

[@HonestlyJustSomeGuy]

I'll start. "Parliament Hill shouldn't have glass ceilings. They should be cold stone with reliefs of infuriated faces glaring down at everybody below."

[@Sartorius988]

LEFTY LOOSEY RIGHTY TIGHTY JUST LIKE POLITICS DAMNNNN THAT ONE WAS GOOOD

[@kevinliang9502]

Poor 'Liz May sitting all the way in the back.

[@SandraNelson063]

Did any Canadians pick up on the fact that we can stroll around our center of Federal government, and the Americans can't get near theirs? I think that is more dazzling than a glass roof.

[@CptSchmidt]

Uh, yes they can. You can walk right up the stairs of Congress and go inside. If you're thinking of the White House, you can't walk up to 24 Sussex, either.

[@SandraNelson063]

CptSchmidt My bad. I thought the whole Capital area was so security frantic that no one could get in anywhere.

[@mcaddicts]

CptSchmidt 24 Sussex is a private residence. The white house is a working residence much like Rideau hall. Which you can walk the grounds and tour.

[@randomidea2113]

mcaddicts You can tour the White House as well...

[@arthurmead5341]

@@CptSchmidt uh, no you can't not even 3 yrs ago

[@Kingsoupturbo]

I like the net on top so no harness needed! 3$ Billion estimated total project cost, yikes!

[@kevinliang9502]

All part of Trudeau's plan to go into massive debt.

[@Kingsoupturbo]

It was all started in 02 and 07 actually, they are finishing up some of the stuff now. The wiki article has the details, those places were falling apart and not healthy to be in or nearly Secure enough. And thats really hiring Canadian contractors and workers to do it, so tax dollars going back into the economy I'd imagine.

[@Tormentality]

3 billion ain't shit to the 10 billion they spending on our stupid damn in BC. All to frack our way to hell in california to team up with nestle and drain the water like meech lake. I dunno what I'm talking about, but goddamn Christy Clark.

[@Kingsoupturbo]

She working hard to figure out anyway to balance the budget when all the land transfer tax funds from speculative Van. real estate investment dry up!

[@BeMaZaCh]

You're an idiot Kevin... research before making ignorant comments

[@ibnawf112]

.. Rick is my favorite Canadian

[@Sartorius988]

loool that guy offered his hand but rick didn't see it AWKS.

[@desmond_2093]

love, loze, love, let me take rick's spot when he retires.

[@Tormentality]

We are truly a country of dorks.

[@ArcticCustomProps]

Yes. Isn't it glorious? I wouldn't have it any other way.

[@neomadic]

dorks over the dicks to the south any day (shots fired)

[@sukhisingh0074]

Lucky guy with amazing job RM.

[@Popsfresh]

Being a government job, not to mention Liberal government job, it will be huge cost overrun and late.

[@mcnairbr16387]

Well this project started under the previous conservative government

[@TrippleRT97]

Oh sweet, it was done through PCL. Worked for them a bunch in the past doing demolition work

[@makattak88]

Union IW Pride!!

[@HaviccB]

Are we still doing the janky Camera?

[@colestoys7077]

Is the House of Commons staying in the west block

[@Knollrest17]

so.. do you think there will be bathrooms for the women here?

[@HonestlyJustSomeGuy]

Waiting on the angry and/or snarky KZbin comments. Don't disappoint this cynical viewer! :)

[@HonestlyJustSomeGuy]

Hugo Lee Me too. Oh well.

[@paulenedobson4912]

love that

[@epiphane5]

House of uncommons?

[@coateskylie]

Rick Canadian democracy isn't the prime minister's in charge and all have to do what he says

[@WilliamDavidPrichard]

So Rick Mercer seriously doesn't know what the phrase, "begs the question" means?!

[@WestCoastWheelman]

Can you guys maybe space out the uploads and stop shit spamming my sub box please?

[@nolanmaisey]

This is a waste of taxpayer money.

[@LordDavid04]

Would it have been better just to build a new Parliament like Australia did?
