Much of his support is coming from outside of Canada

Russia's Yanukovych play was repeated in the US

And they keep trying it in other countries too.

And it seems nobody will do jack shit about it as if no adults are left to rule the country.

I mean, politics aside, if you want to be the leader of a country, why would you not want to have access to all the information that is available? Even if you didn't necessarily act on it.

Because having a security clearance comes with responsibilities, and he can't fill his political posturing with unsubstantiated bullshit without risks.

He knows about some ploys to help him get elected, mostly on Twitter and elsewhere online, and if he got clearance, first of all they would find and potentially make those details public, and he could technically face charges. All about plausible deniability.

I really hope he doesn't get elected. I have this vision of Mu$k being his 'special advisor ' in parliament. X should be banned Canada wide while the election is running.

If he becomes leader of the country he gets security briefings automatically. It's a huge flaw that it isn't a requirement to become an MP.

Is he another Russian asset getting ready to sell out his country?
