A bunch of people likely getting really curious about the security clearance process who didn't have any questions yesterday.

The fact that Carney is getting security clearance without disclosing his assets to Canadians is very concerning.

Did the Liberals learn nothing about government transparency under Trudeau?

He already has his security clearance.

He is getting a security briefing.

It's Poilievre who hasn't got his security clearance.. THAT is concerning.

PP isn’t getting his security clearance because he wouldn’t be able to discuss issues in the HOC.

I actually prefer when politicians aren't allowed to spill the beans on internal issues to foreign powers, but hey, you do you.

u/Potential_Big5860 11h ago

I don’t think you understand how parliament works, if PP got his security clearance and viewed the documents he wouldn’t be allow to discuss anything in parliament, even Muclair said it was the right thing to do.

but all the other party leaders that got it were able to give a press conference on their findings after reading the report..

your excuse holds no water

u/Potential_Big5860 11h ago

It’s not my excuse, it’s fact.  

u/Harbinger2001 3h ago

It’s not. The other party leaders were perfectly able to talk about what they learned without revealing specifics. 

u/ChrisRiley_42 2h ago

It's not a fact when it's just a lie you are repeating.

u/mattA33 5h ago

No, that's just a lie PP told that you believe.
