There is no valid reason for Poillieve not to get a security clearance. His refusal is awfully fishy.
Don't let extremists grab a foothold in Canada. Please sign to help keep Canada a place of good government that respects the rule of law and provides us with a civil, peaceful society.
Pass it on.

Are you concerned that Pierre Poilievre refuses to get national security clearance?

Important for Canadians 🇨🇦 to know:
Extremists want to bring Trump-style anti-immigrant actions to Canada via conservative parties who are not doing enough to prevent the insidious takeover of their parties. Poilievre has especially exhibited a welcoming and dangerous stance toward such radicals.

I think you know the answer. The “negotiations” have been an excuse to hold back necessary equipment and aid.
I am a Ukrainian Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. I have a question.
Why has Trump's year of negotiations been the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion? The number of deaths and injuries has increased by 31 percent compared to the previous year.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Read Bondi’s words and weep and scream. Now being well organized is a crime, and they’re ’not going to have it’!!! Was this said in defence of killing another one of your citizens? I don’t know but it’s clear peaceful protest and citizen vigilance is getting to them.
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"
