More interesting news coming out about Liberal candidate this time involving a bounty on a Conservative candidate:

Paul Chiang, the Liberal candidate seeking re-election in Markham-Unionville, has apologized for “deplorable” comments he says he made at an ethnic media gathering in January, where he told a Chinese-language news outlet how to claim a bounty on a Conservative candidate in Toronto.
The comments were referring to Joe Tay, a Conservative candidate who at the time was contesting the party’s nomination in Markham—Unionville, and is now the party’s candidate in Don Valley North.
The Liberal candidate, who defeated Conservative incumbent Bob Saroya in 2021 by a margin of fewer than 2,500 votes, held a meeting on Jan. 21 in his constituency office with ethnic media outlets.
In comments made to Ming Sheng Bao, the Canadian subsidiary of Hong Kong newspaper Ming Pao, Chiang referenced a $1 million (HKD) bounty Hong Kong police had placed on Tay — about $184,000 — and said that if anyone present at the event brought him to the Chinese consulate general in Toronto, they could obtain the reward.
