The RCMP is investigating a Liberal candidate's controversial suggestion to report a Conservative opponent to the Chinese consulate in exchange for a bounty, highlighting concerns of foreign interference and transnational repression in Canada. Liberal Leader Mark Carney reacted by calling the comments "deeply offensive," yet affirmed the candidate's position in the party. This incident flushes out a complex interplay of local politics and foreign influence, tying in with a bounty issued by Hong Kong authorities against the Conservative candidate, Joseph Tay, known for his pro-democracy stance.
The RCMP is looking into the matter, however no specific details can be provided at this time.
I view this as a teachable moment,
