Does #Poilievre *really* think he can just coast to the next election without ever addressing why he can't pass a routine #SecurityClearance? Cat's out of the bag. Even our largely lousy #NationalMedia's covering it now

#ForeignInterference #cdnpoli

Against a decidedly Russian background a beaming Danielle Smith stands between Tucker Carlson and Jordan Peterson, both wearing ushankas and red labels that say "RUSSIAN STOOGE" while Smith;s label reads "USEFUL IDIOT (at best). Enclosed is a stylized shot of Poilevre looking suspicious in a pair of shades with the headline "Pierre Poilievre doesn't want to talk about foreign interference."

Ttile content reads "CANADA'S FOREIGN-OWNED RIGHT WING (and the national media system that enabled it)"

The only folks working harder than #Poilievre to change the topic away from his inability to pass a routine #SecurityClearance in the midst of all this #ForeignInterference (the prime question in Canadian politics today) is our #NationalMedia.

Marvel at the desperation of #MAGA-owned #NationalPost's #JohnIvison. In the midst of revelations of India's #ForeignInterference vs Canada & ordering MURDERS on our soil Ivison has a sad about how mean Trudeau's being even mentioning it. A manifestly corrupt hack. #cdnpoli

@TheGentYYC #FourthEstateFilth has infiltrated #CdnMedia thanks to #ChairmanHarper. Canadian law used to forbid the sale of Canadian cultural assets to foreign entities until Harper signed off on the #postmedia deal. He allowed and welcomed this foreign slime onto our soil. Why? He was desperate to win the election and he knew they would support him. We kicked him to the curb, but are still stuck with his toxic legacy.

Screenshot of twet from @Gray_Mackenzie reads: 'PEI MP Sean Casey, one of the few Liberals calling on PMJT to quit publicly, says he's "moving on" from that push, after the caucus meeting.

With his initial lame excuse utterly debunked #Poilievre & the Cons now shifting reasons why he can't take (& fail) a routine #SecurityClearance. Bush Jr had the same approach when the neocons wanted to invade #Iraq

#cdnpoli #ForeignInterference

Screenshot content: "Mr Chong said security clearances involve a rigorous process that includes background checks on family members, credit and criminal checks and intrusive questions about one's sexual partners or whether they ever used drugs. The Conservatives fear any personal and family information obtained through this process could be used by the government for politcally motivated purposes against Mr. Poilievre"

Looks a lot like an admission that Con MP #MichaelChong thinks, like the rest of us, that #Poilievre has BAD STUFF in his past that a routine #SecurityClearance (which the rest of Canada's party leaders had no problem taking) would bring to light, no?

Gushing fangirl #DanielleSmith abuses power for now known Russian asset #JordanPeterson. Embarrassing (again) on a number of levels not the least of which being politicians rightly have ZERO control over rules an association places on itself. What a goof.

Danielle Smith tweet reads "Watching @jordanbpeterson
and other Canadian professionals being targeted by their professional associations for speaking their minds made it clear to me that Alberta has to act.

That’s why we are changing the law to ensure no one in Alberta will ever be punished by their professional body for standing up and sharing their views. In this province, we protect the voices that challenge, question, and inspire.

No surprise to folks that know her trashy work but #RobynUrback's the latest faux journo to lamely try to turn the #ForeignInterference channel to #Trudeau rather than asking the prime question in Canadian politics today: why can't #Poilievre pass a routine #SecurityClearance?

Screenshot of Robyn Urback tweet reads "Normies have no idea what she's talking about. Extremely online Trudeau cultists will love it. And everyone else will be embarrassed on her behalf." rback's tweet quote tweets @karinagould's which reads "The Conservative Leader is hiding something from Canadians. He does not deserve their trust."

It'd be funny if it weren't so reckless. First part of #RobynUrback's tweet is a frank admission of what this 🧵's said all along: our national media's mostly failing Canadians in its #ForeignInterference coverage. Honest journalists would be outraged. Urback's never been one #cdnpoli

To be clear I'm not saying #RobynUrback takes money from the Russians like #JordanPeterson & #Tucker do, but rather her journalistic integrity has always been so low that she does Putin's work without even knowing it. There's a phrase for that.

It's more than just #Poilievre. #NovaScotia Premier Tim Houston can't call an election fast enough before the Dec 31st #ForeignInterference report drops, that's even though he passed (and has now broken) fixed election date legislation.

Curiouser and curiouser.

A Russian influenced #antivax #FreedomConvoy was all an otherwise largely unknown #Poilievre needed to rise to the pinnacle of #RightWing power in Canada. We've ALWAYS needed more answers on all this, never more so than now.

Yet the bulk of our #NationalMedia can't bring itself to ask the most basic questions of the man they are also telling us is going to be our next Prime Minister. Curious, that.
