You all know that one of PP’s staff gets a briefing on these matters and is allowed to pass on important information to the party leader?
Please stop posting as if PP getting the clearance is the only option."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

I guess no one wanted to talk about Carney’s brilliant brilliancy in announcing his government would legislate that anyone convicted of a violent offence, especially domestic violence, would have their firearms license revoked?
Great idea, maybe that’s why it was passed into law 40 years ago.
Damn those inconvenient facts!"The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

Has PP said he won’t get his security clearance upgraded if he becomes PM? Because otherwise THAT’S grasping at straws as far as I know and can tell.

The sky is blue, according to the Conservative Party of Canada. Pundits then focus on the announcement being made at night.
This is AMT now."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

Ugh, I am already so sick of an election campaign season, and what has it been? Like less than 2 months? It just got me thinking about how fucking lucky we are - I cannot even imagine how it must feel to be an American, with their mindbending 2-year election campaigns. It's bad enough dealijg with it from another country. Yay Canada, seriously.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

Liberal types criticize Pierre because he doesn't have clearance.
Pierre says he doesn't want clearance because he feels it will muzzle him. (Makes no sense to me.)
You're saying his staff have this clearance and tell him (brief him) on these subjects anyways. (Seems illegal to me.)
I'm confused... because it still seems super dumb to me as to why Pierre doesn't just get the clearance. ?
Are you able to explain it to me again so it makes any sense?Toronto 2000

An assistant with clearance reads the report, triages the information and delivers what they have determined is relevant in a briefing to the leader. Nothing illegal about it unless all the parties have been breaking the rules but I do trust the reporting in this case. There’s guidelines that need to be followed and we, the citizens, are left to trust that they’re followed and the information is acted on appropriately.
Again, unless Poilievre has said he’ll refuse his clearance if he’s elected Prime Minister, this strikes me as grasping at straws. Especially given the Liberals tacit acceptance of Chinese interference on their behalf in this election.
I don’t think anyone here is stupid, by the way. Some, just like myself, aren’t always aware of all the relevant facts. And I do accept and believe that it’s possible to understand the other side while continuing to disagree with their views."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

If this man was so upset, why the seemingly gleeful grin in the picture?
Clearly he reacted instead of responding.

I sincerely hope that anyone that didn’t vote in the advance polls gets the opportunity to vote today."The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."
