Pierre Poilievre’s refusal to get security clearance remains 'just silly,' ex-CSIS director says, in the wake of allegations that India meddled in the Conservative leadership race.
A Globe and Mail report, citing CSIS, alleges Indian government agents meddled in the 2022 Conservative leadership race to support Pierre Poilievre, but the efforts were not highly organized. Poilievre denies any wrongdoing, citing his decisive win and competitor testimony, and defends his decision to not undergo security screening. CSIS did not brief Poilievre on the alleged interference due to his lack of security clearance.
