If it's wrong, I'm right there with you. That's one thing I appreciated about Wyness's statement.
Regardless of what happens with Chu now, there should be an investigation into how an admitted sex-offender got off with nothing more than a note on his personnel file (in his own words, he has admitted to something that the criminal code says should carry a minimum of a year in jail). Then, he was able to parlay his record as a police officer (including wearing his medals during the debates last week) into a long-term career as a city councillor.

2.2.2 Age of Consent Is 18
2.2.2.1 Sexual Exploitation (Section 153)
It is an offence for anyone who is in a position of trust or authority toward a young person, or is a person with whom the young person is in a relationship of dependency, or is in a relationship with the young person that is exploitative of the young person to commit acts amounting to either sexual interference (section 151) or invitation to sexual touching (section 152) against the young person. In section 153, “young person” means someone who is 16 or 17 years old.
The section states that a judge may infer that the accused is in a relationship with a young person that is exploitative of the young person from the nature and circumstances of the relationship, including the age of the young person, the age difference between the accused and the young person, the evolution of the relationship, and the degree of control or influence by the accused over the young person.
This is a hybrid offence with a mandatory minimum sentence of imprisonment for one year (upon indictment) or 90 days (upon summary conviction). The maximum penalty for this offence is imprisonment for up to 14 years (upon indictment) or two years less a day (upon summary conviction).

Even if you believe his own statement that the CTV report is completely wrong and all that happened was some "under the clothes" groping, it would still fall under the offense of "invitation to sexual touching".

Yeah, pretty unbelievable! I guess he and Chu are good buddies though, so maybe not surprising. Here’s the tweet where he says he’s “respectfully” won’t comment:

I could understand if there was an active case being litigated before the courts and a politician's expression could be seen as attempting to influence the outcome of the case. This isn't that.

Embattled Incumbent Ward 4 councillor Sean Chu — a former Calgary police officer — was involved in a 2008 fight with his wife that ended with police responding and seizing a firearm, CBC News has confirmed through court records.
The argument took place in February 2008, when Sean Chu was running in a provincial election for the Progressive Conservatives in Calgary-Buffalo. He ultimately lost on March 3 to Liberal Kent Hehr.
Although there was no criminal charge laid, police seized the gun and, in consultation with prosecutors, set a date for a firearms disposal hearing before a judge, according to court records.
"Under the Criminal Code, if a weapon was seized because there were grounds to believe it was not safe for a person to possess it, the Crown can apply within 30 days to prevent it from being returned to that person if doing so would not be in the interests of the person's own safety or the safety of someone else," explains defence lawyer and law instructor Kelsey Sitar.

Chu has provided two conflicting statements about the incident to CBC News.
First, Chu confirmed there was a 2008 argument with his wife that resulted in him attending counselling but denied a firearm was involved.
"I have not seen any documentation substantiating this claim and it cannot be stated as 'fact,'" he wrote.
On Wednesday, Chu provided a second statement, admitting there was a gun involved in the conflict but said it was never retrieved from its locked cabinet.
Chu said that in 2008 he had a licensed sport shooting rifle stored in a locked and secure cabinet in his home.
"Feeling distraught, I went downstairs to the cabinet intending to retrieve it but ultimately did not do so," said Chu in his statement.

He should probably resign before Meghan pulls out the rest of the skeletons in his closet.

He would've been better off saying nothing at all. He condoning what Chu did, and endorsing him to be part of council still rather than encouraging resignation. That's not showing support for assault victims.
This is pretty black and white, and he's choosing the wrong lane.

He's pretty clearly a compulsive liar. Go away Sean, we hate you.

I suppose Chu could do less damage as a backbench MP.

Yeah yikes. Imagine having to choose between two serial woman abusers to represent your constituency. Do I want a conservative creep or a liberal one?

The second biggest travesty on election night was Terry wong winning. I don’t care if people vote conservative and win on that fact. But ward 7 clearly got screwed over by a plethora of progressive candidates. It’s a case of this man representing less than a quarter of the wards opinions

We in Ward 13 will sadly have to battle this one out with you for the next four years.
