00:00:00.000 That's so unbelievable that not just a liberal candidate, right?
00:00:03.400 This person was an elected member of parliament.
00:00:06.280 I'm talking about Paul Chiang.
00:00:07.820 He was the MP from Markham Unionville from 2021.
00:00:11.800 So he has been in office.
00:00:13.840 He has been part of Justin Trudeau's Liberal Caucus for the past four years, right?
00:00:18.060 And it isn't until the middle of the election that it comes out that not only did he say this,
00:00:23.220 you know, originally, Sam, I thought that maybe he had made the comments in a Chinese interview,
00:00:27.780 like a Chinese language interview in one of those papers, and that's why it didn't make the press.
00:00:34.020 But actually, there's footage of it. He's saying it at Elector, giving a speech to a room full of
00:00:38.720 people. It's on tape, and it's in English. And he's saying, he's making the joke, and the room
00:00:43.520 is laughing, that we should adhere to this ridiculous Chinese warrant. There's a Chinese 1.00
00:00:49.820 Communist government warrant out for the arrest of the conservative candidate, and he's saying,
00:00:53.920 turned them over to one of these Chinese police stations. Just absolutely a disgraceful comment,
00:00:59.520 unbecoming of an elected official. The fact that Paul, sorry, the fact that Mark Carney stuck by
00:01:05.280 the candidate, didn't fire him, said, you know, he's apologized, let's move on. But I want to go
00:01:10.720 on. So they replaced Paul Chung with a candidate that might be even more extreme, Peter Yuan.
00:01:16.800 And you've done some research to expose his connections with a Chinese international school
00:01:22.000 that has been connected to Chinese election interference. I mean, both of these individuals
00:01:27.600 are police officers in Canada. I think this might be the most troubling part that these are both
00:01:35.440 Paul Cheung and Peter Yang were police officers in Canada before getting into politics.
00:01:41.760 And then, of course, there is this video of this new Liberal candidate
00:01:45.600 singing my Chinese heart, a communist propaganda song, wearing his full police regalia. So in 0.84
00:01:53.980 Canadian uniform, making a complete mockery of our country, of our uniform, of our system, 1.00
00:01:59.000 praising a Chinese communist regime in a propaganda song. Let's play a bit of that
00:02:04.160 clip so that viewers remember what that looked like.
00:02:15.600 I mean, when I see this kind of thing, I just feel like Canada is a fallen country,
00:02:24.240 that it is just an absolute farce at this point.
00:02:27.660 It's so frustrating to see that.
