Liberal Leader Mark Carney said his party will “move on” and find another candidate in the Toronto-area riding of Markham-Unionville after Liberal candidate Paul Chiang said he was dropping out.

Chiang had come under criticism this week for his comments in January suggesting people turn in his then-rival, Tory candidate Joe Tay, to a nearby Chinese consulate to collect the bounty placed on him by Hong Kong authorities.
