I really hope the Liberals and other parties bring up how PP still won't get security clearance. How are we supposed to trust someone to govern us and claim to protect our sovereignty against the US and others, but they refuse to get clearance?

  The answer is you don't trust those kinds of people. Don't trust Conservatives or Pierre Poilievre.
  
  Exactly. I just don't know why more conservatives who say they are all about Canadian sovereignty and security, still don't care that PP still refuses to get clearance.
.... because mainstream privately controlled and owned media is part of the conservative party
Also PP, when are you going to complete your security clearance? What are you hiding?
- Exactly. I really hope the Liberals and ALL the other parties bring this up during the elections, and refuse to let it go, or let the question be deflected or ignored.
Link to a list of Canadian owned media.
- Here's what Postmedia owns, they're majority owned by Chatham Asset Management, which is owned by Anthony Malchiorre. GOP mouthpieces.
  
  The Post Media brands have never been seen as reputable though
  
  about 60% is owned by the Chatham Asset Management, the rest of Post Media is owned by Allianz Global Investors GmbH in Germany ... third on the list is Leon Cooperman, an American billionaire
  
  about 1% is actually owned by Canadian companies and corporations
I agree with you. Conservative bias in mainstream media is apparent to all except the willfully blind. Especially Financial Post. I stopped reading their garbage more than a decade ago. And I'm not touching Toronto Sun with anything.
Why not link to the article instead of Blue Sky?
- It was a direct quote was from the Bluesky post.
