Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole condemned violence targeting Asian-Canadians across the country, adding that Chinese Canadians have faced a “double threat” by hate groups and foreign influence operations from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) taking place within Canada.

O'Toole, in a video message on Tuesday, urged Canadians and Conservatives to “defend our Asian neighbours against such despicable acts,” referring to hundreds of hate-related incidents toward Asian-Canadians since the outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
