OTTAWA — Former Liberal MP Paul Chiang’s decision to take himself off the ballot only proves the Liberal leader instinctually puts his own interests ahead of the country’s, Pierre Poilievre said on Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters from St. John’s, the Conservative leader commented on the news overnight that Chiang, seeking re-election in his riding of Markham-Unionville, announced he would be stepping aside — just hours after Liberal Leader Mark Carney said he saw no issue with the former York Region cop staying on as a candidate.
CTV Alerting Canadians that:
1) The Liberals knew about Chiang since January, and chose not to act on it.
2) 40 international human rights agencies and the RCMP, put pressure on Mark Carney to do the right thing. He still didn’t fire him.
