The Walrus on Bluesky
Pierre Poilievre’s defiant stand against securing his top-level security clearance has emerged as one of the more baffling moments of this early election season. What’s driving his seemingly irrational response to a standard procedure? thewalrus.ca/poilievres-refus…
Sorry PP, your submission for the PM job is incomplete, please gather all the requirements before submitting again
Imagine applying for a job as a pilot and being like “yeah I defined want the job, but you can’t drug test me, but trust me bro I’ll fly sober every time.”
This alone should be disqualifying in an election where the central issue facing the country is preservation of sovereignty and when we know foreign interference is a substantial concern. It’s made even worse when considering that it’s the movement supported by a segment of his base that is threatening Canadian sovereignty, and when we know that a segment of his base are would-be willing defectors.
Chances are because he wouldn’t get the clearance. Very Trumpy.
Any history of PP here visiting Moscow, by any chance?
At the minimum, this shows he doesn’t want to run our country.
Considering how dangerous this hypocritical Trump-bootlicker is, this serious matter needs to be placed at the forefront of all political campaigning.
Along with his negligible accomplishments throughout his time in office.
