He’s running for Prime Minister of Canada, but won’t get security clearance???

If he won’t get security clearance, he’s hiding something. Remember that when you vote.
well because his name is PP?
Damn, Global News not completely shilling for the conservatives?
Sure, it’s still not a complete damnation of smallppnobrains, but at this time it could theoretically still hurt him due to last advance election day being Monday and a election day a week away. Perhaps they just had to throw something in to balance out all the pro-cuntservative stuff they air to appear “unbiased”?
Actually, it IS a damnation of PP. Jeremy MacKenzie is a right-wing activist who created the alt-right group Diagolon, which the House of Commons of Canada reported as a “violent extremist group”. He is a firearms enthusiast and has stated that there is a race war occurring in the US, and described the Nuremberg Trials as a kangaroo court.
Considering how much airtime they give to all his other bullshit, this is the bear minimum. Hell, the top of the article has a video with more of his hate spouting crap.
He gets it by default if he becomes pm, in the meantime it would prevent him from saying things that work with his base, there’s no strategic benefit to getting it.
A Trump/Putin move
He’s getting foreign assistance
PP has been distancing himself from this guy, but the picture says it all: Jeremy McKenzie is a Canadian political figure known for his involvement in right-wing movements and as a prominent figure in the “Diagalon” movement, which has been associated with far-right ideologies. He gained attention for his controversial views and statements, particularly regarding issues like government policies and public health measures. In 2022, it was reported that McKenzie was running for a seat in the House of Commons as a candidate for the People’s Party of Canada (PPC). However, he faced challenges, including issues related to security clearance, which may have impacted his candidacy. Just like PP: security clearance issues…
My guess is to maintain plausible disability. A foreign government assisting you win an election isn’t illegal if you aren’t aware of it. It becomes illegal when you know it’s happening and do nothing to stop it.
90,000,000 people in the U.S didn’t vote in their last election. If you don’t want to become an American via PP, don’t act like one. Get out and VOTE for Canadian sovereignty!! 🇨🇦
It’s possible that CSIS is not permitted/able to give it to him, even if he decides he wants it. He could be the grave national security threat that prompted the gag order.
It’s more important to him to criticize the government. If he got briefed he’d realize he’s talking out his ass most of the time.
CANADA DOESN’T NEED A SMALL pp
It’ll make him gay?
Or, there’s something he doesn’t want exposed??
The fact that he’s gay?
More likely that he’s taken hidden foreign money (most likely from India) to run his campaigns.
But we’ll never know for sure, since he refuses to get clearance.
How does that work if he becomes PM? Look no further than the current US or HU governments.
Time to change this. It should be required that anyone running for Prime Minister of Canada submit to a security clearance.
I agree, but that gets tricky, as the PM is appointed to the position by their elected peers.
So essentially, anyone appointed to a cabinet position should be required to already have security clearance. But then that means that people could be excluded from those positions if they didn’t get clearance, even if the reason they didn’t get clearance was that others refused to give it to them (eg, the people elected them, parliament elected them to cabinet, but the government itself was hostile).
Who else running for the position of Prime Minister of Canada REFUSED to get security clearance??? And why does your explanation not apply to all the other candidates? Hmmm……
Indeed; that’s exactly the type of thing Trump took advantage of in the US — getting away with behaviour because nobody had ever considered someone might decide that since it wasn’t illegal, why not do it?
But if we’re changing the rules to prevent ass hattery like PP’s, we need to ensure that it protects against the other extreme too… because otherwise someone will eventually take advantage of THAT, to equal detriment of the Canadian public.
