Pierre Poilivere is way worse than Erin O’Toole and Justin Trudeau ever were

Absolutely ridiculous that this dickhead still hasn't gotten his security clearance, just because he wants to be able to complain about shit he doesn't actually get full disclosure on.

"The redacted NSICOP report said foreign actors from India and the People’s Republic of China interfered in more than one race for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada." India and China? well I'm shocked....SHOCKED I tells ya. and of course PeePee won't get his clearance.

That would make Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre the only major party leader to refuse to obtain the necessary security clearance to read the report.

Republicans in the US pulled this same stunt about Donald Trump's investigation: they refused to look at documents so that they could scream "Witch huuuuuunt!" with impunity.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Thursday he's "more convinced than ever" that some parliamentarians are "willing participants" in foreign states' efforts to interfere in Canadian politics after reading an unredacted version of a bombshell report from one of Canada's intelligence oversight bodies.

Last week, the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP), a cross-party committee of MPs and senators with top security clearances, released a heavily blacked-out document alleging, based on intelligence, that some parliamentarians have been "semi-witting or witting" participants in the efforts of foreign states to interfere in Canadian politics.

The redacted NSICOP report said foreign actors from India and the People's Republic of China interfered in more than one race for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada.

The NSICOP report called the Liberal government's response to the known threat of foreign interference "a serious failure ... from which Canada may feel the consequences for years to come."

During a Senate committee Thursday morning, Canada's Intelligence Commissioner Simon Noël testified that he has concerns about the public conversation on classified information.

A spokesperson for Marie-Josee Hogue, who is overseeing the public inquiry investigating allegations of election meddling, said she is "honoured by the confidence expressed towards the commission."
