“China – Communist Slave State”

On Monday morning, Liberal Leader Mark Carney said he had “confidence” in his candidate who, in January, called for his Conservative opponent to be turned over to the Chinese consulate in order to receive a bounty.

Mr. Carney said that Paul Chiang – who at once issued a veiled threat, encouraged foreign interference and trivialized the horrors Beijing has inflicted on dissidents – was a “person of integrity,” noting that he served for decades as a police officer and MP for the riding of Markham-Unionville for the last several years. Mr. Carney said that Mr. Chiang “made a terrible lapse in judgment,” as if he had gotten testy with a waiter at a restaurant, and not that he had suggested his political opponent be kidnapped by a violent and repressive foreign regime.

Liberal candidate in Markham to stay on with party despite ‘deplorable’ comments about former Conservative rival

OTTAWA — Mark Carney’s Liberals say they won’t turf Markham-Unionville candidate Paul Chiang, despite calls for his ouster after it emerged that he told a diaspora media outlet earlier this year how to claim a bounty Hong Kong had placed on a Conservative rival.

“Paul Chiang recognized that he made a significant lapse in judgment. He apologized and has been clear that he will stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Hong Kong as they fight to safeguard their human rights and freedoms,” a spokesperson from Carney’s campaign told the Star in a statement.

This is so fecked up! The Liberals aren’t even trying to hide their Chicom allegiance.

Calls are mounting for Liberal Leader Mark Carney to fire Toronto-area candidate Paul Chiang, who said people should bring a Conservative politician to the local Chinese consulate to collect a bounty on him for criticizing Beijing’s crackdown on Hong Kong.

NDP candidate Jenny Kwan urged Mr. Carney to drop Mr. Chiang for his comments on Conservative candidate Joe Tay. “He advocated for people to bring him to the Chinese consulate to collect the bounty,” Ms. Kwan told reporters Sunday during a campaign event in Port Moody, B.C. “In what universe is this normal?”

In the shadow of endless headlines about Donald Trump and the American political circus, another crisis is quietly unfolding on Canadian soil — this one in our fields, barns and fishing boats.

As of March 17, China has imposed crippling tariffs on key Canadian agri-food exports: 100% on grains and canola, and 25% on pork, lobster and seafood. These aren’t abstract threats. These are real, immediate penalties on farmers, fishers and harvesters — Canada’s food producers.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre on Tuesday drew public attention to a report that shows Mark Carney in October, while chair of Brookfield Asset Management, brokered a deal with Chinese bankers.

A month prior to Carney’s trip to China, then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made him chair of the Liberals’ Task Force on Economic Growth.
