OTTAWA - Federal leaders for the New Democrats and Green Party have both received the security clearance they need in order to be briefed on specific allegations of foreign interference attempts in Canadian elections.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet had both rejected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s offer to see the documents, arguing it was an attempt to trap them into agreeing not to speak about allegations in public.
Am I right to feel like absolutely nothing of consequence will come of this? The two biggest critics of the ruling party won’t know the true extent or evidence. The two sidekicks can see the whole story but will be gagged. So we ultimately won’t know the truth and it’ll all just devolve to posturing.

Not looking means they can continue to claim it’s as bad as they could possibly imagine.
If they do look they can still talk about it, just not specific details, which they already can’t talk about.
So what I’m hearing is it’s more important to them that they can whine than take an active interest in our security.
Why would foreign espionage ever be public? That just lets the people doing the meddling know what works and what doesn’t
The best case scenario is that the parties know to combat it
The reason they are not looking is the important bit. It is my understanding that Squinty McProudBoy either can’t or won’t get a security clearance.
