What would happen if someone became PM but failed the bar to get security clearance after the election? Seems like one should be required to get clearance to qualify to run as PM to avoid such embarrassment.

Thank God for Canadians. Canada nICE Agents.
I shake my head at how often some governments approach problems based purely on feels without ever honestly asking "Is this a real or perceived problem" or "Has the problem been studied" or "What has worked in other places" or "What do the experts say" or "What will be the metric of success".
The 'absurdness' is born out of necessity because fascists are biting at the bit for any made up excuse to send in the stormtroopers in jackboots. Beating a guy in an inflatable frog suit as a threat is much harder to spin.
Claudia Tenney describes the No Kings protests as "a bunch of aging hippies, riding nude on bicycles, dressing up in early Halloween, and looking absurd"

Do people actually believe this "George Soros paid all the protestors" shit? Sad. Where do I sign up for this amazing free money? Is it only those with a valid antifa membership card that hasn't expired? Did 7 million people receive cash behind a tree in the park in a brown paper bag?

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.
