Sean Speer and Rudyard Griffiths discuss Prime Minister Carney's plan to crowdsource funding for 24 Sussex Drive renovations. They question why public infrastructure requires private donations rather than traditional government funding, explore potential conflicts of interest, and discuss how this approach diverts charitable dollars from registered charities. They also express concerns about its broader implications for government accountability and philanthropic priorities.
