Conservative leader Poilievre has refused to obtain top-secret clearance to share intelligence with CSIS .

He has long argued that receiving classified intelligence would prevent him from holding the government to account on foreign interference.

Ex-national security officials who spoke to Global News are skeptical of that position.

Not taking an intelligence briefing because you can’t turn it into a meme is not the seriousness with which we should be approaching this issue.

Jessica Davis , president of Insight Threat Intelligence and former official at the Financial Transactions and Report Analysis Centre (FINTRAC) and CSIS , says it's confusing to me that someone who wants to be the prime minister of Canada would turn down information about the country’s security.
