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.
Trudeau is further pushing Pierre into a corner with Pierre’s refusal to get the necessary levels of security clearance to be leader of the opposition, much less leader of the country.
Anyone who cares about Canada should be deeply troubled that someone in his position is so desperate to avoid getting that security clearance. And should ask what it is he’s avoiding being held accountable for.

Because he wants to be able to talk BS about secret stuff without having to worry about being held accountable.
It is a blatant excuse to lie, but the HoC won’t change the rules so that all party leaders would be forced to submit to the investigation for a security clearance.
It’d be funny if his name was released tto him as being a foreign agent.
Because pp is nothing less than another useful idiot propped up by those who want to dismantle our society.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall when CSIS shows him printouts of his communications or the balances of bank accounts he’s been trying to hide.
If Pierre can know this information, and he doesn’t have a security clearance, then technically voters can know this information too. Put it in the news.
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?
Yup. I’ll also add that CSIS should not in any way, shape or form have to weaken their rules to accommodate peurile PP so he can continue talking shit.
It fucking sucks that the bully child of Trump may well become our next PM. :/
No, the entire point here is that this will me he WON’T be able to talk shit on this. That is why he keeps avoiding it. This is Trudeau playing him into a corner.

PP will still be able to lie because he’ll only receive some info, not ALL the info.
As long as he doesn’t break confidentiality on what he’s privy to, he’ll still be able to speak on what CSIS has not shared with him.
Odd…
What is odd?
That he refuses a security clearance because he’s compromised by the same foreign entities he’ll be getting information on.
CSIS is generating clickbait now?
Remember the last time someone had “some information” about “possible foreign interference” and it was “someone else paid for their meal and they didn’t document it in the ethics ledger.”
I’m not saying that either is fine (accepting gifts/meals, nor forgetting to do some routine documentation) but stop issuing press releases informing the public that you’re about to issue a press release.
