Pierre Poilievre can't handle questions from the media, he can't get his security clearance, and he can't separate himself from his ideological daddy, Donald Trump. He would deliver Canada to MAGA America on a silver platter. #cdnpoli #elxn2025 www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Every other Leader of the Opposition in Canadian History has had a security clearance. Every other Leader of a Third Party has had a security clearance. It didn't prevent them from providing robust critique of government. What's the real reason, Pierre? How are you compromised? What are you hiding?

The whole point of an election campaign is to provide the public with an opportunity to see what's on offer and to demonstrate that you can deal with tough, even hostile, questions. How will he stand up to US and Russian scrutiny if he can't even face Cdn journalists? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

As a Canadian, there is no part of me that wishes I were American. I don’t wish I had been born there or that a could attain US citizenship. It’s not the prize MAGAs think it is.
