and other agencies, will inform on efforts to protect the integrity of the Canadian election. Up at noon today. CBC News Network

* i will note here that Pierre Poilievre refused the offer of getting a high level security clearance in the last Parliament to review information on security breaches with candidates in Canadian elections. The other party leaders all got the clearances. We can only speculate why PP avoided a high level security clearence. Makes you go Hmm?

What do you think he is hiding? applegrove Mar 24 #2

He's hiding his outsized ambition to be PM. He thinks w security clearance he will be constrained, muzzled. He won't. nt Bernardo de La Paz Mar 24 #3

You don't think that maybe there was some very sketchy behaviour applegrove Mar 24 #4

I have not seen anything to suggest a dodgy past. I think he'd have no trouble getting a clearance Bernardo de La Paz Mar 24 #5

in his past, possibly even as a child? Many of Trump's team members could/cannot pass a security clearance, why not PP?

He's a bit weird, so I think his stated reason is probably what he believes, but I don't really know. I could be wrong. What you said, that he might be hiding something is an angle I had not thought about. Perhaps it could be used to get under his skin.
