IMO, it's plausible deniability on his part so he can act like a dumbass and get his phuquewit followers to rise up in rage...as to why he refuses to attend briefings, that he as the Leader of the Opposition really needs to attend in order to brief his caucus regarding issues of national security that they will have to debate in the HoC, again, I can only speculate that it's so he can rage farm more.That whole logic, of not wanting to get intel briefings because he will be restricted from talking about it is mind boggling to me. He's essentially saying he doesn't want factual information and would prefer to speculate wildly based on conjecture.
If something is already in the public domain, just because he knows additional confidential background doesn't mean he can't comment on the stuff that is already public domain, but does mean he would know better if it's BS.
Bit of an Orwellian logic loop there, and honestly that really bothers me from someone who wants to lead the country. What does he expect to do if he is PM?
Almost made it…Apparently they were headed across the border for a rock concert. I guess that means that the KISS Army is a terrorist group.

Boosters'll say "why make the regime look legitimate in any possible way?" or "they just want to tie his hands re: what he can't say".That whole logic, of not wanting to get intel briefings because he will be restricted from talking about it is mind boggling to me.

There was a Bentley recall a couple years ago concerning the accelerator pedal getting stuck when depressed. Don't know if the year and model of this incident's vehicle were the same, but $300,000 don't seem to guarantee quality.
I'm a huge PP supporter for a lot of reasons, but I will grant you that your suggestion is an absolute possibilityIMO, it's plausible deniability on his part so he can act like a dumbass and get his phuquewit followers to rise up in rage...as to why he refuses to attend briefings, that he as the Leader of the Opposition really needs to attend in order to brief his caucus regarding issues of national security that they will have to debate in the HoC, again, I can only speculate that it's so he can rage farm more.
Well to be honest calling VR a potential candidate is also not really factual reporting either
Well, they aren't a regime, they are the Government in charge, and the people doing the briefings aren't political.Boosters'll say "why make the regime look legitimate in any possible way?" or "they just want to tie his hands re: what he can't say".
Haters'll say plausible deniability, "my mind's made up, don't confuse me with the facts," "nuance will make simple, easy-to-follow messaging harder to pinpoint," or "easier to bash when you don't have the whole picture."
Well, technically anyone can be called a potential lottery winner, right?Well to be honest calling VR a potential candidate is also not really factual reporting either![]()
There is a whole herd of PS people in Ottawa that thrives on questionable morality and access to the senior politicians (much to the annoyance of the more honourable PS staff) So I would not be surprised that some of the people briefing the PM will bend rules and information to appease him and his circle.Well, they aren't a regime, they are the Government in charge, and the people doing the briefings aren't political.
So he's not only remaining ignorant, he's slandering the process as well as the public servants that he would expect to brief him in the PM role.
Actively cultivating ignorance isn't really a quality I want in a leader, and the choice between two shitty guys isn't appealing. Being shitty in a different way is still shitty.
Responding to my own post seems weird, but yesterday a reporter did call out PP for his statement in the House.Including PP, who stated that in the House yesterday? Not even le dauphin claimed it was terrorism. Some might say he baited PP into a false statement.
Listening to Fox News this morning on the way to work (I'm up pretty early) they were still claiming that either the car originated in Canada or had Canadian plates.
That a reporter called PP out is part of the story.Responding to my own post seems weird, but yesterday a reporter did call out PP for his statement in the House.
Giggle. A politician hold his tongue.Or maybe in a fluid situation, he should have held his tongue and let investigators do their jobs…![]()
I know. A novel concept!Giggle. A politician hold his tongue.
