This is part of a clear pattern of avoiding accountability. First refusing security clearance, now blocking press access — both deliberately circumvent transparency mechanisms that are essential to democracy.

In a functioning democracy, leaders face scrutiny. By controlling access to this degree, Poilievre signals that accountability is optional rather than fundamental. Canadians deserve leaders who embrace democratic principles like press access, not those who run from them.
