Has this been investigated? Because wow, I can only think of one reasons he wouldn’t get his clearance…
I feel like a broken record sometimes, but I am a left-leaning American living in Alberta for nearly a decade now. I watched first-hand the slow downward spiral of the American Republican party. I watched conservatives in my country become dumber and more impressionable with every election, absorbing the hate, the conspiracies, and the ridiculous rhetoric like a sponge.
I am now watching this same process play out here in Canada, albeit with a bit more resistance. I firmly believe that Canadians, as a whole, are more sensible and better educated than their North American counterparts. I don’t say that with shade toward my fellow Americans, but the last election speaks volumes. But now with these tariffs I am surrounded by proud conservative Canadians who are angry at the Trump administration and the atrocities south of the border. They want to buy Canadian. They want to remain Canadian. And yet many of them are still proudly standing by Danielle Smith and the UCP.
I do believe there is a slow awakening taking place, but I’m fearful that it’s not happening quickly enough. I’m fearful that if enough people do put their country over party and elect Carney, they’ll eventually consume so much of the bullshit pie that they will do everything in their power to vote him out after a few years. I just hope that Canadians are not so forgetful.
That was remarkably good.
Personally I think it should be a requirement to be vetted by a country’s intelligence service in order to run for office.
I am not saying that you cannot run or be voted in. You can run no matter what.
I do think that the results of your screening should be public. Not the details, more just the thumbs up or down.
People need to know the danger you are in.
I’ve had to get a criminal background check for most jobs I’ve ever had, a check that my employer gets to see before they decicde to hire me.
Only seems fair that people running for office have something similar.
Much of his support is coming from outside of Canada
Care he’s a fuckin Russian asset.
Via his Venezuelan connection.
Does anyone know how he met his wife?
How they paid for their honeymoon in Europe?
Or anything about his wife’s background?
And what they were doing with the rent fraud with her having the same address as another mp and funds being paid from the gov to him?
I’m just kind of repeating what I’ve heard but apparently it’s more likely he’s an Indian asset?
Trudeau’s last day(s)
If your only goal was to win, why would you want to be handcuffed by the responsibility?
