“I have asked the security services to figure out a way to give some information to the leader of the Opposition so that he can actually fulfil his responsibility of protecting Canadians, including those within his own caucus,” Trudeau said during question period Wednesday.

    I’m a random civilian and I’ve actually gone through more vetting than Pollievre. And this fucking asshole thinks he deserves to be Prime Minister. Absolutely insane that anyone takes him seriously.

        Perhaps there is some sort of background check before it’s officially granted?

    Without saying the Conservatives have MPs under foreign influence, he’s able to use Poilievre’s unwillingness to get a security clearance with a line that DEFINATELY indicates that the Conservatives have MPs under foreign influence.
