Original reporting by the Globe & Mail is behind a paywall. In any case, it’s not a good look for Poilievre that India boosted his candidacy and then he wouldn’t get security clearance to be informed of this fact.

    I’ve been asking for years why our opposition party leader refuses to get a security clearance, or even attend briefings that Justin Trudeau had to ask CSIS to rewrite the rules of so he could also be briefed. The “liberals don’t want me speaking freely!” excuse is starting to piss me off. What’s the actual reason Pierre? Too afraid to see how foreign interference might affect your party and instead want to plug your ears about it? Or is it he just can’t get one and this speaking freely stuff just happens to be a convinient excuse? Either way, I don’t buy his reasoning as being legitimate.

      Being in the opposition: It allows him to say whatever he wants

      Becoming PM: He gets briefed without needing it

      Pretty strategic on his part…

      Yeah, not a valid excuse in my mind. It shows a disturbing lack of responsibility/accountability.
