CouchPotato Posted April 1 Report Posted April 1 (edited) Canada MP quits election race over Chinese bounty comments Quote Canadian member of parliament Paul Chiang has quit as a Liberal Party candidate over comments he made suggesting a political rival should be turned over to the Chinese consulate in return for a bounty. Tay, who is running for the Conservatives in the 28 April federal election, is one of a number of overseas activists who have been targeted by Hong Kong police for allegedly breaking the city's national security law. Chiang said he is withdrawing from the race to avoid "distractions in this critical moment". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czd317lvdeeo If Mark Carney were any kind of leader he would have never defended him in the first place.

Well, no it seems he originally thought an apology was enough for his disgusting comments. It wasn't until after the issue was reported to the RCMP and he felt he would be a liability to his own party that he decided to step down. But the larger issue here is that Mark Carney did not think it was a big deal for one of his candidates to suggest that someone hand a political opponent over to the Chinese consulate for a bounty. He called it a 'teachable moment'. A very weak response from a person who clearly is not suited to be a leader. Edited April 2 by CouchPotato Quote

When the CPC hears about that kind of behavior it doesn't hesitate.

WestCanMan Posted April 2 Report Posted April 2 12 hours ago, herbie said: OMG a politician with a sense of decency. No surprise it's a Liberal...... Our Liberal PM thought that Chiang never needed to step down. In fairness to Carney though, his thought process was something like: "I just negotiated a private-sector loan for $250M dollars from the Communist Bank of China for the company that I just moved from Canada to the US... Is Chiang's little 'turn opposition MP's in to the Chinese gov't' scandal so much worse than what I did?" and he rightly determined that it would be hypocritical to turf Chiang without resigning himself.

TreeBeard Posted April 2 Report Posted April 2 Three candidates removed by the Cons in one day! https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7499684 Singh is the third candidate the Tories dropped on Tuesday, following the ouster of Mark McKenzie in southwestern Ontario and Stefan Marquis in Montreal. The Conservatives did not share a reason for why they dropped Singh, merely confirming that he was dropped as a candidate in a one-line email to CBC News. Quote

And one allowed to remain by the libs that's vastly more damning. Three candidates were found to be unacceptable and were removed instantly. But carney couldn't even remove one who called for turning in a fellow candidate to be murdered for cash 1 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

That's not a joke. the left insists people should be jailed for 'misgendering' someone even as a joke. Encouraging people to capture and turn someone in to be murdered is a hell of a lot worse than that 1 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

Singular things which were a lot less damning than the laundry list of things that Carney himself did in the last 4 months. FYI conservatives have to hold themselves to a far higher standard than the Libs because the CBC will crucify a CPC candidate for jaywalking, while an LPOC candidate can get away with injurring children.

TreeBeard Posted April 2 Report Posted April 2 (edited) “But it was only a joke” Conservative Party joins the Cancel Culture Revolution! A Conservative candidate says he has been removed by the party over past comments he made in a podcast suggesting former prime minister Justin Trudeau should face the death penalty. Mark McKenzie, who was seeking a seat in the Ontario riding of Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore, told Global News in an interview Tuesday that the remarks he says he made while co-hosting a comedy podcast in 2022 were “all a joke” and he regrets making them. https://globalnews.ca/news/11109624/conservative-candidate-removed-trudeau-death-penalty-remark/ Edited April 2 by TreeBeard Quote
