Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he is 'even more alarmed than before' after reading the un-redacted report alleging there are MPs and senators who are participating to some degree in foreign interference efforts.
And this is exactly why the security clearances don't matter. May says it's basically a nothingburger involving former politicians while Singh is suggesting in involves current policitians and acts as if he's quite upset, but apparently is not upset enough to actually hold the government accountable.
Meanwhile Trudeau doesn't even believe the damn report and Joly says Liberal MPs aren't involved.
The only thing Poilievre having the clearance and reading thr report will be a 5th opinion on what has occurred; this is functionally useless to us as voters because we still won't know who's full of shit and who's not.
I care more that Pierre hasn't bothered to get security clearance so he can read it himself.
I don't understand Singh because May said it wasn't that bad and when questioned repeatedly, Singh refused to answer the simple question of, 'did the report contain names'.
At 3:40 in the video of OP he states there are names in the unredacted report but "some names is not also there".
I think people are reading to much into how alarmed Singh is of the report vs May. As noted in the article there will be a public inquiry with the final report well before an expected election and they've made amendments to include concerns found in this report.
Justice Marie-Josée Hogue is currently leading the public inquiry into foreign interference and is expected to deliver a final report at the end of the year.
Earlier this week, the Liberals supported a Bloc Quebecois motion for the foreign interference commissioner’s mandate to include the report’s allegations – though whether or not it will be included in Hogue’s probe is ultimately up to her.
What's thr point of him reading it though? Unless he's allowed to give us actual specific details about it, nothing changes for us voters whether he reads it or not, just like nothing has changed for us voters just because Singh and May read it.
I'll tell you what will happen if he reads it: he'll spout off some vague bullshit just like May and Singh did and people will accuse him of lying for the purpose of stirring up political dissent for his own advantage.
