Canada’s spy agency says it will disclose “some information” about foreign interference to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who has resisted getting the national security clearance he needs to review classified documents about the issue because it would muzzle him.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) told CBC News on Saturday that it’s determined “the disclosure of some information to the leader of the Official Opposition through a threat reduction measure is appropriate.”

Classified information is typically shared only with people who have an appropriate security clearance and a relevant need to know, CSIS said in a statement.

    Yup. I’ll also add that CSIS should not in any way, shape or form have to weaken their rules to accommodate peurile PP so he can continue talking shit.

    It fucking sucks that the bully child of Trump may well become our next PM. :/

      No, the entire point here is that this will me he WON’T be able to talk shit on this. That is why he keeps avoiding it. This is Trudeau playing him into a corner.

        PP will still be able to lie because he’ll only receive some info, not ALL the info.

        As long as he doesn’t break confidentiality on what he’s privy to, he’ll still be able to speak on what CSIS has not shared with him.
