The fact that Trudeau is comfortable using foreign interference as a cudgel against a political opponent is outrageous. FFS, the Liberals knew about Han Dong, and didn't do anything about it until it became public and their hand was forced. Had that not happened, there is no reason to expect that Han Dong wouldn't still be happily sitting as a Liberal.
If the Prime Minister cared about foreign interference, he would be putting measures in place immediately to ensure that if anybody sitting in the house of commons is compromised by foreign interests, they should be expelled. He's the Prime Minister. He could make this a priority. But no, it's still somehow a bickering match about security clearances. Crazy.
The ~~conservative~~ criminal party of Canada has some explaining to do.
Wow, what a cudgel.
It's an unusual axe to choose to grind during testimony. Take it from two former CSIS directors:
Source: CBC - "Why won't Trudeau release classified names — and why won't Poilievre get a security clearance?
If it leads to Polievre getting his fucking security clearance, I would argue it does.
There would be no "partisan turn" to take if he would meet this basic expectation.
JT just needs to announce who's on the list and I'm willing to bet we'll see why exactly PP doesn't want a background check done on him.
