He mispronounced "I'm afraid of a free press that asks questions".

No surprise he wants to abolish the CBC

All I can think is that he’d have expected both backlash and the Streisand effect by not allowing reporters, so how bad exactly must the situation that he’s hiding be?

This mixed with the refusal to get a security clearance is mega sketchy

I really worry he can't survive a security check.

What even happens in the case where a PM fails a background/security check? It’d obviously be a national security risk but I don’t think there’s any precedent for it…

At least it’s looking like none of this will matter though looking at the polls (obv still need to keep our guard up though)

If he becomes PM he gets the clearance automatically, parliament would then have to look into him if things happen.

Meh, this guy is old news. Let's move forward as a country and forget he even existed. Canada has to focus on staying alive.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Lol is he even going to show up to a national debate? He's so scared.

Only if it's hosted by (checks Trump playbook) ... Fox

I can't blame him, as his campaign is a tire fire.

Polievre is an idea-less, maga, wanker.

Maybe he is Maple MAGA

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

Bold of you to assume he has that kind of wrist strength

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 hours ago

Because they may overhear his blatant pandering to US billionaires

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 hours ago

That's one mighty thin defense. It almost says the quiet parts out loud.

CPC strategy meeting: so our market research has uncovered that as people are exposed to him, PP drops in the polls. What can we do to minimize this?
