After the first week of Canada's federal election,
00:00:05.800
apparently Mark Carney has decided that he really needs a big election scandal,
00:00:14.240
the Liberal MP running for re-election in Markham, Unionville,
00:00:21.100
should be brought to the Chinese consulate to collect a bounty on his head,
00:00:28.140
This is going to dog him for the entire election,
00:00:31.600
and Mark Carney has already said he's not getting rid of this candidate,
00:00:33.920
and there's about 24 hours left for him to actually change his mind,
00:00:40.720
it will look like he didn't actually care to do it,
00:00:43.420
and he was only forced to do it by public pressure.
00:00:46.220
I need to show you the press conference that just went down,
00:00:48.940
because this is a complete disaster for Mark Carney.
00:00:52.120
It's the stupid conventional political wisdom of never admit to a mistake,
00:00:59.300
but not in the instance of your own candidate saying a Hong Kong refugee
00:01:04.660
turned conservative politician who was an actual famous actor in Hong Kong
00:01:09.900
and decided to become a freedom activist for, like, purely righteous reasons,
00:01:18.580
Before I get into this, guys, make sure to like this video,

and you want to keep up with my federal election coverage.
00:01:26.660
But without further ado, here is the press conference in question.
00:01:32.760
talked about turning over a conservative candidate to the Chinese consulate
00:01:36.080
to receive a bounty placed on him by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:01:39.500
Can you explain why you've not dropped him as a liberal candidate?
00:01:49.800
This is a terrible lapse of judgment by Mr. Chang.
00:01:58.180
It feels like Mark Carney's AI is breaking down right now.
00:02:02.220
Like, nobody cares if you can identify it as an offensive comment.
00:02:18.920
talking about taking somebody who had to flee their home country
00:02:24.660
that they should maybe be brought to the Chinese consulate for some money,
00:02:33.260
in order to actually be able to keep campaigning.
00:02:37.020
that the RCMP potentially provide him security during the election now.
00:02:57.340
but he's also a current sitting member of parliament.
00:03:01.320
He has apologized directly now to the person that he mentioned.
00:03:09.040
I've spoken to Mr. Chang as well over the course of the weekend
00:03:26.820
All the more reason to get rid of him for doing this.
00:03:29.480
By the way, we're going to get into it in a little bit.
00:03:32.300
This is not a lapse of judgment on Paul Chang's part.
00:03:35.940
He has been hanging out with the CCP at every chance he gets,
00:03:40.340
despite the fact that recently China executed four Canadians
00:03:47.540
He was speaking at events with the CCP at the same time
00:04:00.920
to his community, 28 years of defending rights in this community.
00:04:09.360
And he will continue with his candidacy going forward,
00:04:15.800
having made those apologies very clearly to the individual,
00:04:22.500
Look, this is a person of integrity who's served this community.
00:04:55.000
to go and grab Joe Tain and bring him to the consulate,
00:05:01.760
that the Chinese government has a bounty on his head
00:05:05.860
in pointing out that this guy's kind of a criminal.
00:05:09.320
He's an actor who is leading the umbrella movement
00:05:28.900
to want to arrest him, put a bounty on his head
00:05:30.900
and put him in a concentration camp for, you know,
00:05:33.160
the crime of being in favor of rights and freedoms.
00:05:36.660
And again, the fact he was a cop for this long,
00:05:40.940
because if he knows what rights and freedoms are
00:05:52.200
is telling about how bad this is an issue for Carney.
00:06:19.500
It's also an individual who has family in Hong Kong.
00:06:24.040
He's under no illusions about the situation there,
00:06:33.240
I'm not sure exactly if Paul Chang would be in favor
00:06:39.580
I'm skeptical if he'd be on the pro-democracy side of things.
00:06:44.600
He's made them directly to the individual concerned.
00:07:07.020
Pierre Pellet for his lack of security clearance
00:07:09.080
when Mr. Chang is considered a worthy candidate?
00:07:13.800
Look at Mark Carney's weird robotic bleeps and bloops
00:07:17.940
trying to do mental gymnastics to get out of this.
00:07:21.520
I can very credibly criticize the leader of the opposition
00:07:53.500
when someone's asking you about blatant hypocrisy.
00:08:02.960
but look at the face of the workers behind him.
00:08:04.640
They look like they have secondhand embarrassment.
