New Canadian Politics Thread

I don't think highly of Trudeau but I don't think dude is going to commit perjury regarding something that is documented national security information though especially when the person accusing him is 1) an even more massive douche than Trudeau 2) Not cleared to see the information Trudeau is testifying about 3) Only not cleared to see the information because he refuses to get clearance, with the most charitable potential explanation for that is that he doesn't want to know because then he has to lie about shit uncomfortable for him politically and the least charitable potential explanation is that he knows he would fail to get clearance because of his own alleged foreign contacts.
didn't PP previously have a top secret clearance?

and didn't Mulcair go on record saying he would do what PP did, i.e. not get clearance?

now, of course, it's possible that PP has been compromised since he was in Cabinet and would no longer qualify for the clearance he previously had...
 
My understanding is that he's never had it, never applied for it. He wouldn't have needed top secret for his portfolio in the Harper Cabinet, there's a few levels of clearance below that.
He never applied for it not so much in order to have plausible deniability but because he probably knows that applying for it would start a vetting process that would expose his duplicity and treason. If ever there was a man petty and venal enough to break laws in order to grab on to power it's Pee-Pee. As Kamala would say, "We both know this".
