On Thursday, Poilievre only pointed to CTV when talking about the "media reports" to which he was referring. But it appears Poilievre asked his question in the House before CTV's reporting was published.

The timestamp on the article indicates that it was published at 2:39 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Subsequent tweets from the article's author and CTV itself were published at 2:40 p.m. and 2:50 p.m. respectively. Poilievre asked his question at 2:25 p.m.

A number of American news outlets had begun reporting the incident as a terrorist attack before CTV's article was published. A Fox News reporter tweeted that the explosion was a terrorist attack just before 2 p.m. on Wednesday.

Why doesn't he just get his security clearance and help communicate truths, rather than exasperate things by giving voice to misinformation, or worse, disinformation...?

It's because truth is an inconvenience for people like him.

Because it is politically convenient for him to be a purposefully underinformed shitbird.

Little PP sucks at doing anything consequential, so the only space he can occupy is that of a whiny child screaming for ice cream.

Because it's working for him. Right-wing voters adore him, regardless of his misinformation, lying, etc.

Most right wing voters will vote right wing regardless of what the politician says does or looks like (as long as it’s white passing). They don’t care about policy or platform, just voting conservative. The politicians literally can’t do wrong by the voters.
