Liberal MP Paul Chiang Resigns Without Naming the Real Threatā€”The CCP

Published on

The Opposition with Dan Knight Ā  Ā  Dan Knight

After parroting a Chinese bounty on a Canadian citizen, Chiang exits the race without once mentioning the regime behind itā€”opting instead to blame “distractions” and Donald Trump.

So Paul Chiang is gone. Stepped aside. Out of the race. And if youā€™re expecting a moment of reflection, an ounce of honesty, or even the basic decency to acknowledge what this was really aboutā€”forget it.

In his carefully scripted resignation statement, Chiang didnā€™t even mention the Chinese Communist Party. Not once. He echoed a foreign bounty placed on a Canadian citizenā€”Joe Tayā€”and he couldnā€™t even bring himself to name the regime responsible.

Instead, he talked aboutā€¦ Donald Trump. Thatā€™s right. He dragged Trump into a resignation about repeating CCP bounty threats. The guy who effectively told Canadians, ā€œIf you deliver a Conservative to the Chinese consulate, you can collect a reward,ā€ now wants us to believe the real threat is Trump?

I havenā€™t seen Donald Trump put bounties on Canadian citizens. But Beijing has. And Chiang parroted it like a good little foot soldierā€”and then blamed someone who lives 2,000 miles away.

But hereā€™s the part you canā€™t miss: Mark Carney let him stay.

Letā€™s not forget, Carney called Chiangā€™s comments ā€œdeeply offensiveā€ and a ā€œlapse in judgmentā€ā€”and then said he was staying on as the candidate. It wasnā€™t until the outrage hit boiling point, the headlines stacked up, and groups like Hong Kong Watch got the RCMP involved, that Chiang bailed. Not because Carney made a decisionā€”because the optics got too toxic.

And where is Carney now? Still refusing to disclose his financial assets. Still dodging questions about that $250 million loan from the Bank of China to the firm he chaired. Still giving sanctimonious speeches about ā€œprotecting democracyā€ while his own caucus parrots authoritarian propaganda.

If you think Chiangā€™s resignation fixes the problem, youā€™re missing the real issue. Because Chiang was just the symptom.

Carney is the disease.

He covered for it. He excused it. He enabled it. And now he wants to pose as the man who will stand up to foreign interference?

He canā€™t even stand up to it in his own party.

So no, weā€™re not letting this go. Chiang may be goneā€”but the stench is still in the room. And itā€™s wearing a tailored suit, smiling for the cameras, and calling itself ā€œleader of the Liberal Party.ā€

RCMP Confirms It Is ‘Looking Into’ Alleged Foreign Threat Following Liberal Candidate Paul Chiang Comments

Published on

The confirmation followed a day of escalating pressure on Canadian law enforcement afterĀ The BureauĀ revealed that the UK-based human rights organization Hong Kong Watch sent a formal letter to RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme, calling for a criminal investigation into Chiangā€™s reported remarks.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed late Monday it is actively reviewing the controversy surrounding Liberal MP Paul Chiangā€™s alleged remarks that appeared to endorse delivering a political rival to a foreign government in exchange for a bounty.

In a statement sent toĀ The Bureau, the RCMP said: ā€œForeign actor interference, including instances of transnational repression, continues to be a pervasive threat in Canada. The RCMP takes all such reports and allegations seriously and ā€” in close partnership with intelligence, law enforcement and regulatory agencies ā€” dedicates significant resources to combatting and investigating criminal activity related to foreign interference in Canadaā€™s democratic processes.ā€

ā€œThe RCMP is looking into the matter,ā€ the statement continued, ā€œhowever no specific details can be provided at this time.ā€

The confirmation followed a day of escalating pressure on Canadian law enforcement afterĀ The BureauĀ revealed that the UK-based human rights organization Hong Kong Watch sent a formal letter to RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme, calling for a criminal investigation into Chiangā€™s reported remarks. The comments, made during a January meeting with Chinese-language journalists, suggested that Conservative candidate Joe Tay could be brought to the Chinese Consulate in Toronto to claim a bounty placed on him by the Hong Kong police under Beijingā€™s National Security Law.

The organization alleged the remarks could constitute ā€œcounselling to commit kidnappingā€ under Canadaā€™s Criminal Code. In their letter, Hong Kong Watch also referenced the Foreign Interference and Security of Information Act, which prohibits attempts to coerce or intimidate individuals for the benefit of a foreign state.

While the RCMPā€™s statement did not confirm the launch of a formal investigation, it emphasized that if ā€œcriminal or illegal activities occurring in Canada [are] found to be backed by a foreign state, it is within the RCMPā€™s mandate to investigate this activity.ā€

The RCMP said it does not typically disclose information related to ongoing investigations unless charges are laid. Nor will it confirm which individuals may be under protective watch.

Earlier Monday, Tay confirmed that he contacted the RCMP over concerns for his personal safety even before Chiangā€™s comments became public. Chiang, a former police officer and Liberal candidate in Markhamā€“Unionville, has apologized for the remarks, calling them a ā€œterrible lapse in judgment.ā€

Meanwhile, more than 40 Hong Kong diaspora organizations based in Canada and abroad issued a joint statement condemning Chiangā€™s remarks and calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to remove him as a candidate. Carney told reporters in Toronto that Chiang still has his ā€œconfidence,ā€ and described the incident as a ā€œteachable moment.ā€

The RCMP said its ā€œoverarching priority is the safety and security of the public,ā€ and encouraged anyone who feels threatened online or in person to report such incidents to their local police. In cases of immediate danger, individuals are urged to call 911.

The statement also pointed to the existence of protective mechanisms for election candidates, including through Elections Canada and the federal government.
