Pierre asking Trudeau to do a crime should be a bigger story than it is, Pierre asking Trudeau to put our information gathering operations at risk should be a bigger story than it is. Makes me sick to think that weasel could get elected on not much more than Liberal fatigue, and we will pay the cost as a society for it when the childcare funds dry up, green money heads to the oil fields, we adopt punishment based healthcare for those addicted or women, and he reintroduces Harpers sneaky style of voter suppression and court stacking.

Polievre knows exactly what he's doing by remaining an uninformed stooge. It's much easier to blatantly lie to Canadians when you purposefully ignore the truth.
PP is a giant piece of shit that has no business running for leadership of Canada.
Poilievre and the Conservatives have been calling on Trudeau to release the names of allegedly compromised parliamentarians. They repeated that demand on Wednesday.
But law enforcement and national security agencies have been clear on this point: sharing any classified information is a crime.
"Anyone who reveals classified information is subject to the law equally and obviously, in this case, those names are classified at this time and to reveal them publicly would be a criminal offence," RCMP Deputy Commissioner Mark Flynn told MPs on the public accounts committee in June.
When CBC News later asked Flynn whether the names could be released in the House of Commons, where MPs enjoy certain legal protections, he suggested that could be a legal grey area.
"That's a question that should be asked, due to the complexities of parliamentary privilege, of a legal expert," Flynn said.
Stephanie Carvin, a former CSIS national security analyst, said there are several reasons why national security agencies wouldn't want the names made public β starting with the fact that it could compromise ongoing investigations.
"We don't want foreign governments knowing how we are collecting information. That's why we protect our sources and methods," she said.
