This is a no-brainer: a Granny who wants to volunteer at a school lunch program has to get a security clearance.
And yet Pierre Poilievre who lives in a 19-room mansion funded by the taxpayer refuses or can't get a security clearance.
Something stinks here.

Pierre Poilievre will no longer receive security briefing from top spy agency

CONFIRMED: The prorogation will NOT impact the planned release of the report on foreign interference.

It will still be submitted to the government by January 31.

Pierre Poilievre is leaning heavily into rage and disinformation.
His interview with Jordan Peterson speaks volumes about where he will take the politics of our nation.
I was once targeted by Jordan Peterson and the death threats I faced went off the charts.

Canadians want reassurance people in Ottawa are ready to defend our values against Donald Trump's tirades. It is deeply disconcerting this is not happening.

Factory farming inflicts unimaginable suffering on pigs and other animals, confining them in cruel, filthy conditions for profit. It’s an unethical system harming animals, humans, and the planet. Compassion demands we end this cruelty. 🌱
