I mean Pollivere, refused to have access to security docs... Plausible deniability...
Choosing to stay stupid when given the option to learn is not plausible deniability. It's just staying stupid, and PP will get called out on it if/when he uses it as an excuse.
Called out in parliament, maybe, but not by anyone inclined to vote for him. I've never met a Conservative voter who thinks critically when it comes to voting (and I've met several with advanced degrees). Policy and performance don't matter; they vote for 'their team' and based on beliefs - not evidence - that 'conservatives are good with money' and similar swill. It's more like being a sports fan or a religious devotee than a rational elector, ime

You should read independent sources then. The Winnipeg Free Press, the Breach, CanadaLand, etc etc are all good.
Here's a link to a listing of Canadian independent news sources.
CanadaLand is still on your list? https://www.readthemaple.com/i-went-to-jesse-browns-talk-on-the-slow-pogrom-in-media/
There isn't one media source in the world that will be 100% perfect.
Read the ones you want to and leave the rest unread.
