No. Let's not. Remodel it to make it functional, but don't tear it down and rebuild it. That would be a horrible precedent and it would just continue happening over and over, because a lot of politicians are petty assholes.

    How else are we going to get all the Russian and Israeli spy tech out? Honestly just set fire to it all and try again

    Given how much he's pissed off Canada, they might be willing to oblige again.

    Common misconception. Canada wasn't a country in 1812 when British forces burned down the white house coming from what is now called Canada. Either way, Canada should continue to take credit just to piss off the aggressors.

    That was the British. Canada didn't exist then.

    Sort of, Canada definitely existed but as a French colony and then as a British one. Also every 90s kid grew up with Heritage Minutes telling them it;s Iroquoian word for village that Cartier thought was the name of the country. So Ca-Nada has been around a while.
