I mean, politics aside, if you want to be the leader of a country, why would you not want to have access to all the information that is available? Even if you didn't necessarily act on it.
Because having a security clearance comes with responsibilities, and he can't fill his political posturing with unsubstantiated bullshit without risks.
He knows about some ploys to help him get elected, mostly on Twitter and elsewhere online, and if he got clearance, first of all they would find and potentially make those details public, and he could technically face charges. All about plausible deniability.
I really hope he doesn't get elected. I have this vision of Mu$k being his 'special advisor ' in parliament. X should be banned Canada wide while the election is running.

Its pretty obvious to me. He wants plausible deniabilty because he already knows about the interference and is part of it

Much of his support is coming from outside of Canada

If he becomes leader of the country he gets security briefings automatically. It's a huge flaw that it isn't a requirement to become an MP.

Is he another Russian asset getting ready to sell out his country?

It would make it harder to criticise, which he's pretty much openly said is his only job and concern right now.
