Original reporting by the Globe & Mail is behind a paywall. In any case, it’s not a good look for Poilievre that India boosted his candidacy and then he wouldn’t get security clearance to be informed of this fact.

    If he becomes PM, he just ‘gets’ security clearance.

    My understanding is that it’s required as the PM, and no PM has ever been denied due to the screening process.

    Not a Con here, but it does seem shady that he’s not in the know about anything and doesn’t want his ties publicized.

      Oh, I agree but he still can’t talk about details. He only wants to talk details when he’s opposition, not when PM. Total weasel move.

          Everyone gets to decide what we talk about. PM is no different. Pierre just can’t lie about something that has been made aware of.

            There’s non disclosure rules if you aren’t the one deciding what is and isn’t secret, don’t play dumb. Fucking CSIS agent letting the globe and mail see what Poilievre couldn’t is election interference.
