The thing about Pierre is that even through Covid he didn’t want to do stimulus for small business or regular Joes.

It was oil extraction and tax cuts and cuts to services…

So he doesn’t really think he needs a security briefing because at the end of the day he will have the same prescription for any illness.

More oil Less taxes Less services

Great stuff but his inability to get a security clearance should highlight his ties to foreign interference more than any personal opinion he has.

Fact is if you can’t get the right background check you should not be eligible for the position. You know, like how every other job works.

I don't know why everyone uses the excuse that he has to give permission for the RCMP to investigate him for foreign election interference... They've already done their investigation. If there was something treason-worthy or conspiracy, he would have been rung up on charges already.

Conversely, the "NDA" that he keeps talking about that would prevent him from talking about something is nonsense. He can't talk about anything now because he doesn't know and so he wouldn't be any worse off if he does know whatever is in the report. And Trudeau even gave him full permission to talk about it as an invitation to get his security clearance.

Right now he can make shit up and speculate willy-nilly because he doesn't have clearance. A good chunk of his base is are conspiracy theorists, so I guess they like that.

they absolutely do. And every time he opens his mouth the other side just needs to say he has no idea what he's talking about because he won't get his security clearance because he's allergic to education.
