It’s really frustrating seeing Pierre take this serious issue of foreign interference and twist it into a partisan issue.
He needs to do his job and read the report.

And if Trudeau names anyone even remotely close to the CPC Poilievre will claim it’s a witch-hunt by a government afraid to go to the polls. CPC will likely sow doubt in our electoral and democratic systems by implying that the government is trying to investigate its opponents.

This isn’t going to go the way PP thinks. This is one issue EVERY party, except for the CPC is in full agreement on. The longer he drags his heels, the guiltier he looks.

I like how Trudeau (accidentally?) named Jordan Peterson as being paid by RT as well as Tucker Carlson as an example of foreign interference

Poilievre knows if Trudeau names names, it blows the investigation out of the water, which would kind of be the point now, wouldn’t it?

I really wonder if PP’s hesitation concerning his security clearance is because he knows he will be unable to be cleared.
Without that, his continued refusal makes zero sense.

I don’t think this is going to backfire like people here think. The layperson isn’t going to delve into the specifics of security clearances. They’ll see one guy clamouring to release the names and one guy not releasing the names.

On one part: PP not getting his clearance to weed out the bad element of his party is a lack of leadership.
On the other part: security is under the government prerogatives and it should make sure that these elements cannot influence our decision makers.
I appreciate that other political figures in Canada are calling Pierre out for this, frankly, childish response to this serious matter.
> Horrible response. It’s not a partisan issue.
> Get the damn clearance and purge your party of the turncoats.
