An election hasn’t even been called yet but I’ve already seen a Conservative attack ad. In it, they refer to “Carbon Tax Carney” as being a sneaky character with conflicts of interest.
I mean wth. Carney ended the carbon tax as one of his first acts in office. (Not that I had anything against it, but whatever.)
And let’s talk about conflicts of interest for a moment. Poilievre refuses to get a security clearance to get briefed on foreign meddling in Canadian political campaigns which was deemed urgent by CSIS. They decided to make an exception for him and offered the briefing regardless but he basically screamed LA-LA-LA I don’t have to listen to this!
The only conclusion I’ve been able to draw from all this is that he and/or his party are the beneficiaries of said foreign interference and he wants plausible deniability in case it surfaces. It would also explain his reluctance to have embedded press following him around digging into things.
Man that is depressing. I know people like this too, alas.
