> As the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference has heard, an October 2022 CSIS Intelligence Assessment concluded that “Government of India agents appear to have interfered in the Conservative’s (sic) 2022 leadership race by purchasing memberships for one candidate while undermining another.”
Given this, I’d love to see unanimous calls from all political parties for PP to undergo security screening and get his clearance right away or resign. We’re not doing a Manchurian Candidate re-run here.

Sometimes keeping your mouth shut is better than getting involved. Especially if you don’t have a preset agenda.

He has nothing. Empty words and divisive rhetoric is where his playbook just stops.
The guy doesn’t even *want* security clearance. Why would I want that kind of person in charge?
Maybe when he explains why India interfered to get him elected, and what that means for future relations, people will stop asking. Running from it, staying silent and dodging a security clearance is not a good look.

Poilievre quietness of foreign policy is a red flag for someone that wants to be Prime Minister. He only brings up things like October 7th or a relevant geopolitical issue when he can somehow tie it in to blaming Trudeau for something. He just treats voters like idiots that he can feed buzzwords and slogans to perpetually while they eat out of his hand, like actual thought out & detailed platforms are beyond their comprehension.

Considering PP directly benefited from the Government of India meddling in our electoral process and giving him his position, and then having no comment about the Government of India murdering people on Canadian soil, calling him an Indian state asset is a pretty astute observation.
Conservatives, you can pick someone else to be party leader. You don’t need to sleepwalk into the next election. Regardless of who you put in there you’re still going against a deeply-unpopular candidate like Trudeau, and that new guy will almost certainly be more charismatic and have a better background than PP. Why are you more loyal to a foreign power over your own country?

Can’t imagine why that is?
