The Liberals will not remove their Toronto-area candidate, Paul Chiang, over controversial comments about a Conservative candidate. Liberal Party Leader Mark Carney confirmed this decision this morning.
Carney stated that Chiang has served the community for a long time as a police officer and has apologized for his remarks. As a result, he will remain the Liberal candidate for the Markham–Unionville riding.
Notably, Chiang had encouraged members of his community to extradite Conservative Party candidate Joe Tay to China in exchange for a reward from Hong Kong police during a local Chinese-language event in January. His statement has also been condemned by NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh.
