Canada’s spy agency says it will disclose “some information” about foreign interference to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who has resisted getting the national security clearance he needs to review classified documents about the issue because it would muzzle him.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) told CBC News on Saturday that it’s determined “the disclosure of some information to the leader of the Official Opposition through a threat reduction measure is appropriate.”
Classified information is typically shared only with people who have an appropriate security clearance and a relevant need to know, CSIS said in a statement.
No. Because Pierre will be giving info he will be legally sworn to secrecy on. The purpose of him being given this access is because it’s important info for the leader of the opposition to know, even if he is inexplicably refusing to get the correct level fo security clearance required to get it through the normal channels for people in that position.
This is the government bending over backwards to try to keep the leader of the opposition informed on issues that are important for the security of our nation, even as he is doing his very best to avoid getting that info for some reason.
The question that leads intelligent people to ask is why is he putting so much effort into avoiding being informed about these issues? What is he so scared to know, on record?
