Poilievre is the only party leader in Parliament who still refuses to obtain the necessary security clearance to access classified documents on foreign governments' political interference activities in Canada.

"I have no knowledge of interference."

It is unfathomable to me that this man wants to lead a country, but refuses to undergo even basic vetting.

I have a higher security clearance than Pollievre does, and I don't even work in any government related capacity.

It's even bigger worry that so many are willing to put him in charge despite this.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, the fact that this is not immediately disqualifying is insane.

I'm guessing it's got to do more with dissatisfaction with the current government than liking Pipsqueak. There are good reasons for dissatisfaction.

There are, but I detest this Canadian mindset of replacing bad with worse.

Thanks for letting us know you have access. A friendly mercenary may be black-bagging you for a Cadillac ride shortly.

This is the best reason for passing a law that federal party leaders must have the appropriate security clearance. Yes, this can be abused, but not having to get has been heavily abused, as well.
