Paul Chiang, a Liberal candidate running for re-election in the greater Toronto area, is apologizing for comments made to a media outlet suggesting that his Conservative rival, a Hong Kong democracy activist whom Chinese authorities have placed a bounty on, be turned over to China. The Conservatives are demanding that the Liberal Party remove Chiang over his comments.
“The comments I made were deplorable and a complete lapse of judgement on the seriousness of the matter. As a former Police Officer, I should have known better. I sincerely apologize and deeply regret my comments,” Chiang, the MP representing Markham-Unionville since 2021, said in a March 28 statement.
