New Democratic leader Jagmeet Singh responded to the scandal of Freedom Congressman Paul Chiang, condemning his comments.

“To decide on Canny, to decide whether Tsing Ang will continue to be a candidate, but as a leader, I absolutely do not allow him to join my team.”

In January, Liberal MPs and the party’s candidate Chiang, in Markham-Unionville, spoke in Chinese media in Toronto when people were encouraged to capture conservative candidate Joe Tay and hand it over to Chinese authorities.

“For everyone here, if you take him to the Chinese consulate in Toronto, you can ask him to enjoy a $1 million bounty,” Chiang said.

Joe Tay, who was born in Hong Kong, ran for the conservative in the north of Tang Valley and spoke frequently to support China’s democracy and opposes the repression of Hong Kong’s democracy advocates.

Therefore, Hong Kong authorities received a Hong Kong dollar reward of $1 million for Tai Yi’s arrest.

Zug told people to collect bounties by handing over one of his political opponents to the Chinese authorities. New Democratic MP Jenny Kwan, who is himself a target of China’s foreign intervention, described the comments as “absolutely shocking.”

“This is intimidating in the worst case, but he played a role in it. He advocated that people take him to the Chinese consulate to collect bounties. In what universe, is this normal?” Guan asked.

Guan said that when people from China and Hong Kong, Canada, were already afraid to speak out, Qing’an’s comments made the situation worse.

After the comments were posted in English on Friday, Zian apologized and, according to a statement from the Liberal Party, it seems that it has ended.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre responded to the news without anger and said that Chag remained his party’s candidate in Markham Unionville was unacceptable.

“I found out that Mark Carney would allow someone to run for his party, which demands that Canadian citizens be handed over to a foreign government bounty, a foreign government that would almost certainly enforce Canadian citizens,” Poilievre said.

It has been recently revealed that China has executed Canadian citizens in the past few months. Of course, China also famously kidnapped Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor in an attempt to use them in hostage diplomatic cases to free Meng Wahnzou.

This is amidst industrial espionage activities such as Nortel, which were once northern companies, and their ongoing attempts to intervene in the Canadian election cycle.

Now we have a free MP who advocates handing over Canadian citizens to China, who can be killed, Mark Carney stands beside him and says nothing. His Liberal Party is looking in another way, rather than intervening in discipline.

“What do you say if Mark Carney will protect Canadians?” Poilievre said.

“Mark Carney was deeply in conflict. Just in November, he went to Beijing and received a $2.5 billion loan from Asset Management from a state-owned bank of China. He was deeply compromised and he would never stand up for any foreign regime.”

The loan mentioned by Carney mentioned by Poilievre mentioned after Carney, who consulted Prime Minister Trudeau at the time, attended a Beijing meeting with several senior officials, including President Xi Jinping. Under Carney, Brookfield Asset Management significantly increased its assets under management in China, partly utilizing the tie he built in China when he was governor of the Bank of England.

Carney pitched to voters, he knew other world leaders, he knew how the world worked, but maybe he knew them the wrong way. He should know what China will do to Canadians with a $1 million bounty, which is enough to fire him from Qingming.

Carney wouldn’t do that, which raises a lot of questions about him, his connections and motivations.
