Is that so? How about the legal experts (like lawyers) who have said after taking the brief he can NOT say anything or he can ACT in way to reveal the info he learned in the top secret briefing. In accordance with the secrets act.
Go figure, you select the option that is not available.
Now Trudeau on the other hand, had all the power in the world to de-classify the documents or take action as the Prime Minister.
There is no “secrets act”. You don’t even have the most basic understanding of what law applies- I specifically referenced it; FISOIA (as amended from SOIA in June). Guess what the new “FI” part stands for. I’m bloody sure you’re not in a position to speak to how offences under that act actually work.
That’s not how originator control and declassification work.
Like introducing and passing laws. Like Bill C-70 regarding foreign interference that got royal assent in June, and which establishes new criminal offences, new threat reduction disclosure powers for CSIS, and a foreign agents registry once regulation is issued.
And what came of that presser? Nothing. More obscurity. She was like "Nothing to worry about here". And Jagmeet Singh was just the opposite. He was worried.
And out of my whole post you pick that one line and only reply to it. As expected, you show no real insight into or understanding of the subject matter.
I have a lot more "whole picture" understanding than you will EVER have. If I was overly concerned about the exactness of the laws, I can take the time to bug lawyer friends to read it and explain the gritty details to me.
I will defer to your lawyer friends and their real life experience with investigations and prosecutions under the Security of Information Act.
They'd have to find something else to fake outrage about.
Probably the same thing. Just read the report.
Your showing your lack of political situational awareness. No one gives a rats ass now if he had his clearance and took the briefing or not. The wild west of Canadian politics has way moved on from that. Its grasping at desperate smear attempts like that that leaves the anti-Poilievre crowd in the very small minority.
Sure Rick. Whatever calms you down. But thanks for stating his refusal to read it is politically motivated. On that we agree.
Broken clock is right twice a day, which one of us is the broken clock?
Seriously, in my mind, you don't separate good politics from doing what is right. Where as bad politics (or bad political moves) are just that.

Not surprising that evidence was destroyed. It’s the Canadian way of avoiding having to do something hard.More on how Project Sidewinder was scuttled by CSIS in the 90’s.
Canada Allegedly Gutted a '97 Report That Recommended a Border Strike Force Targeting PRC Triads. Now Washington Wants Action.
OTTAWA, Canada – The author of the controversial Sidewinder report—a joint 1997 RCMP-CSIS study alleging that Chinese Triads linked to Beijing’s intelligence and influence networks had infiltrated Canadian cities and ports, including Vancouver—has come forward with new details on CSIS’s alleged...
