Pierre Poilevre’s refusal to get a security clearance is suspicious

Pierre Polievre is refusing to get a security clearance which would allow him to be briefed on the ongoing investigation into foreign interference in Canadian elections. His rationale, as reported in the press, is if he were to acquire a security clearance he would then be constrained from divulging any information he had been given in those briefings. While the current government is, up until now, taking a position of keeping the identities of the players who have been named in the hearings confidential, a position which opens the process to suspicions of covering various prominent backsides, Polievre’s willful ignorance is equally sketchy. It smacks of a “Two Monkeys” strategy: “See No Evil, Hear No Evil” and speak any old load of crap that seems politically expedient. If he does assume political power in the next year or so he will be privy to all this country’s most sensitive information.
“Hear the Evil. See the Evil”and spout it into whatever ears are available and listening? Alas I grow old and ever more suspicious.

Lol. If he gets one, he can’t publish the names. Isn’t that what we want to hear?. Trudeau gets his automatically as PM.
Well said Ken. What is he trying to hide?
hmm, i guess he does not want to attend the whole waft of other spaces within govt circles where parliamentary privilege requires no sharing with the public.
and that, given we are supposed to be a free/open society, is another issue.
curious indeed it is that the other leaders see it as essential to know what is going on, but not pierre. seems the demagogue may have skeleton or two in his closet. what is especially interesting is that he is not speaking any more specifically to the players at the root of the investigation than are the other leaders.
Interesting conclusion(s) you have regurgitated Mr. Sears. “Same old same old” you are obvious not in tune with why “Prime Minister in waiting” Poilievre is/has not advanced to the enhanced security clearance. Perhaps, YOU should check this out so that YOU “will see no evil, hear no evil snd as a result, speak no evil”!
