Why Won’t Pierre Poilievre Get His Security Clearance?

One of the most important jobs of the Prime Minister is keeping Canadians safe.

But Pierre Poilievre is refusing to get a top secret security clearance — the same clearance every party leader needs to make critical national security decisions.

With reports of foreign countries trying to interfere in Canada’s elections, Poilievre’s refusal to take national security threats seriously is raising serious questions. Experts say Poilievre needs to get his clearance to keep Canada safe. Yet he won’t. Why not?

Why is it not a requirement for anyone running for our Prime Minister to have security clearance?

[JebbAdams]

We need to have a law where all MP's have to publicly post their tax returns!

When I was in the US Army the NSA Clearance took about 6 months. They check criminal records, political affiliations and other pertinent facts about your personal finances. Trump could not get a NSA Clearance because of foreign financial involvement. Ain't that America.

All members of the Royal Canadian Air Force, on joining, are subject to a clearance investigation.

I like how as the video progressed even though this is a very short video, Trudeau is getting more and more visibly angry because he and the other parties all know that this isn't about their goals or whatever this is about Canada surviving and whether or not their goals will even matter in 4 years or not

Poilievre is refusing the sec clearance process because he knows he would fail that process. It's the only thing that makes any sense.

This form, language and background information is the thing that all of our politicians must use to communicate the facts in the age of disinformation.

Oh yes..and PP should get his clearance.

I’m fully convinced that he is a foreign asset- HE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED! After him, Daniel Smith needs to be outed as well!

Quite simple because if he has security clearance he can no longer question the government on the issues of security.

I heard Jagmeet say something and he should not speak. Jagmeet is the worst criminal in any party IMO. I hope he loses so bad his party loses official status.

Thank you for the foreign interference commission. Yes it is a significant threat. it must be highlighted, and it must be stopped. Tighten up Canada.🍁

[rogerbrand]

Maybe a redacted version of the brief he would have received should be made public, so the Canadian people can decide if they should vote for him and his party.

[DarrellBeaton]

Because the Liberal’s changed the law preventing PP from sharing anything with the public.

[RebekahMaxner]

Only someone with plenty to hide refuses to get security clearance.

Thank you for highlighting this article 0:36 foreign interference from these 5 countries. It’s a big problem and must be highlighted. This matters.

[markkawecki]

It should be mandatory for a PM to have security clearance, I don't trust PP anyway.

[cosmicphoenix]

Why did you have a gag ND order as a condition attached to getting that security clearance? What are you hiding Trudeau?

[coastaljan]

Thanks so much for keeping this on people's mind, and thanks for your service to our country.

Hey Mr. Trudeau! I found out why Poilievre chose not to get security clearance, because he has gone on record about it many times and it's really easy to find on the internet. If you get security clearance, you are not allowed to make whats in the documents available to the public. Which Poilievre disagrees with.

“Unlike others who are willing to limit their ability to hold the government accountable on important issues of national security, Mr. Poilievre will not be gagged and unable to speak or act on information he may receive, ” Sebastian Skamski, of Poilievre’s office, wrote. <- Western Standard

And by security clearance, he means gag order. 😂
