 Bernard Landry's New Official Residence. A Comparison in Style With Robert Bourassa.
René Lévesque and Lucien Bouchard, to their credit, were satisfied with the bedroom behind the premier's office in the cement office building on Grande Allée better known as "the bunker".
Bourassa was cerebral and never spent time in developing a public persona, which in my view was unfortunate because, one-on-one, he was very charming,  and genuinely interested in other people.
Landry's official residence and occasional outrageous declarations are driven by his first priority - not only separation from Canada at some time in the future, but the trappings and grandeur of independence right now.

 Marandi finds official residence of CM very `small'
RANCHI, NOV 30: Babulal Marandi, Chief Minister of the newly-formed Jharkhand state, has preferred to move into the palatial residence of the South Chottanagpur Commissioner instead of the official residence of the Chief Minister when Ranchi was the summer capital of erstwhile Bihar.
‘‘After all, the chief minister can’t have an official residence which is smaller in size than that of his Commissioner,’’ he added, justifying Marandi’s move.
On the flip side, while the Commissioner’s residence is being cleared to house Marandi, who is putting up at the Circuit House, there are hundreds of officials and government staff who haven’t been provided with official accommodation.They are living on pavements near the Jharkhand secretariat and even on railway platforms.
