Rick Mercer first gave us this gem 15 years ago and it's as true and relevant now as it was then.

Meanwhile #Poilievre STILL can't pass a routine #SecurityClearance though all the other party leaders had no problem passing it & he's starting to get called out for it (just not by our media) #ForeignInterference #cdnpoli https://youtu.be/RvVDFdvaO3Y?si=a-zRuJJbjaPfwmDy

Well it's official, 2 out of 2 top turncoat quisling TRAITORS do NOT approve of #MarkCarney which should tell you all you need to know about both #Carney and his opponent #Poilievre that can't pass a routine #SecurityClearance during a #ForeignInterference crisis.

The official said the “#DOGE mission … to bring much-needed efficiency to our bureaucracy” is being carried out “legally & with the appropriate security clearances.”
A #SecurityClearance is not a sufficient credential for access to #taxpayer systems, according to #IRS procedures. #IDRS access is governed by compelling needs for #tax administration, not #NationalSecurity.
Conservatives have now begun their much anticipated anti Carney attack ad campaign. Their new spicy slogan? Just like Justin. How original of them. Such creative alliteration from well paid propagandists.
Liberals and NDP should fire this same strategy back on petty Pierre Poilievre and his collaborator Conservatives.
Pierre Poilievre is: #JustLikeTrump #JustLikeADictator
Conservatives are:
#JustLikeRepublicans #JustLikeTraitors #JustLikeFascists

Why does #Poilievre keep saying the Nazis were socialists?
A right-wing interpretation of #history links #fascism and #socialism
How accurate is it? A Tyee explainer...

Make #Poilevre wear it every day until either #ElectionDay or he passes the same routine #SecurityClearance the rest of Canada's party leaders passed (which he can's because he's compromised, and on a number of fronts).

A Russian influenced #antivax #FreedomConvoy was all an otherwise largely unknown #Poilievre needed to rise to the pinnacle of #RightWing power in Canada. We've ALWAYS needed more answers on all this, never more so than now.
Yet the bulk of our #NationalMedia can't bring itself to ask the most basic questions of the man they are also telling us is going to be our next Prime Minister. Curious, that.

Like #India we know #Russia was VERY interested in #Poilievre's political rise. Worth asking why Russia's paid stooges/traitors worked so hard to promote Pierre rather than, say, #Patrickbrown or #JeanCharest. What does Russia get out of him?

#India's just one piece of the Foreign Interference Crisis involving also at a minimum #China & of course #Russia. #Poilievre's surrounded & championed by people that took (take?) money from the Russians & his refusal to take a routine #SecurityClearance is a straight up threat to #Canada's #NationalSecurity.

This is just one #ForeignInterference piece #Poilievre has no curiosity whatsoever learning about. What would a #SecurityClearance reveal about him & China or India? Why did these countries prefer him to his competitors #Patrickbrown or #JeanCharest?

Guy who can't pass a #SecurityClearance to save his political career makes #ForeignInterference promises but only for AFTER you elect him Prime Minister. Reminds me of that wall of #Trump's that "Mexico" was gonna pay for. /45

Every day's a good day to ask #NationalMedia folk like #RosieBarton why they're failing our country by not asking the prime question in Canadian politics today: why can't #Poilievre pass a routine #SecurityClearance during a #ForeignInterference crisis?

No surprise to folks that know her trashy work but #RobynUrback's the latest faux journo to lamely try to turn the #ForeignInterference channel to #Trudeau rather than asking the prime question in Canadian politics today: why can't #Poilievre pass a routine #SecurityClearance?

Looks a lot like an admission that Con MP #MichaelChong thinks, like the rest of us, that #Poilievre has BAD STUFF in his past that a routine #SecurityClearance (which the rest of Canada's party leaders had no problem taking) would bring to light, no?

With his initial lame excuse utterly debunked #Poilievre & the Cons now shifting reasons why he can't take (& fail) a routine #SecurityClearance. Bush Jr had the same approach when the neocons wanted to invade #Iraq

@copter_chief The fact that #Musk isn't having his #SecurityClearance revoked is already too much #leniency.
- Seriously, even having contact to Russian Officials would get German Security Clearances revoked.
