Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /24
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?
Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /25
From #Trump to #Tucker to #JordanPeterson to all those influencers and now this punk it's increasingly worth asking if there's a well known member of the #RightWing who's NOT owned by Russia. Traitors.

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.
Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /27
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?
Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /28
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
Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /29
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.
Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /30
The #KevinBaconGame but for #ForeignInterference:
#PostMedia's #TorontoSun is foreign-owned by #MAGA bros whose fealty is to #Trump whose fealty is to #Putin. That's without even mentioning walking #ConflictOfInterest BrianLilley.

Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /31
Every day's a good day to ask #NationalMedia folk like #RosieBarton why they're failing our country by not asking the prime question in Canadian politics today: why can't #Poilievre pass a routine #SecurityClearance during a #ForeignInterference crisis?
Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /32
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.

Guy who can't pass a #SecurityClearance to save his political career makes #ForeignInterference promises but only for AFTER you elect him Prime Minister. Reminds me of that wall of #Trump's that "Mexico" was gonna pay for. /45
Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /34
What we KNOW is #Poilievre "won" leadership of the federal Cons at least partially via #India's #ForeignInterference & now is unwilling to acquire a routine #BackgroundCheck to learn about how #India has been endangering Canada's sovereignty

Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /35
This is just one #ForeignInterference piece #Poilievre has no curiosity whatsoever learning about. What would a #SecurityClearance reveal about him & China or India? Why did these countries prefer him to his competitors #Patrickbrown or #JeanCharest?

Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /36
#India's just one piece of the Foreign Interference Crisis involving also at a minimum #China & of course #Russia. #Poilievre's surrounded & championed by people that took (take?) money from the Russians & his refusal to take a routine #SecurityClearance is a straight up threat to #Canada's #NationalSecurity.
Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /37
Like #India we know #Russia was VERY interested in #Poilievre's political rise. Worth asking why Russia's paid stooges/traitors worked so hard to promote Pierre rather than, say, #Patrickbrown or #JeanCharest. What does Russia get out of him?

Why does Russia invest in Canadian stooges/traitors who in turn gushingly promote all things #Poilievre? #Putin subverts western democracies he sees as a threat to Russia's hegemony by fomenting anger, hatred & fear within

Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /39
In #Trump and America's burgeoning #MAGA bozos #Putin found easy, fertile ground for all that anger, hatred and fear he wished to foment. He found the same thing in Canada's right wing and many other countries as well.

Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /40
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.
Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /41
Make #Poilevre wear it every day until either #ElectionDay or he passes the same routine #SecurityClearance the rest of Canada's party leaders passed (which he can's because he's compromised, and on a number of fronts).
