Why does the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada refuse to get a security clearance to see classified documents. He is the first to scream about being left out, but this is entirely up to him. I suspect there is something that would prevent him from getting a security clearance and he does not want us to know. Or perhaps he is under the control of a foreign power… #Canada #SquintyMcProudBoy

    He should already have a security clearance working in government.

    He almost certainly has a security clearance (likely “Reliable”), but it probably needs to be upgraded (probably “Top Secret”, maybe just “Secret”). Security clearances are pursued based on what’s necessary, not what a person is “eligible” for.

    EDIT: Added security classifications.
