An explosive report by the Toronto Association for Democracy in China alleges that Liberal incumbent candidate Paul Chiang called for a Conservative candidate to be returned to communist China for a bounty.
The report has prompted condemnation online, including from Conservative MP and candidate Michael Chong.
Chiang is running for re-election in Markham-Unionville and was quoted in a Chinese-language media outlet allegedly suggesting that somebody "can claim the one-million-dollar bounty" if a Conservative candidate, Joe Tay, is "brought to Toronto's Chinese Consulate."
National security experts, opposition figures and anti-CCP Canadians have condemned the alleged comments.
Chiang allegedly made the comments to the CCP-funded Hong Kong-based outlet Ming Pao.
Tay, a candidate running in Don Valley West, has been a vocal critic of the Chinese Communist Party and reports have indicated the Chinese authorities have placed a bounty on Tay to be captured.
The bounty, reportedly worth HK$1 million, had been issued by CCP-influenced Hong Kong authorities, although no further details have been provided on the specific nature of the reward.
This situation follows a series of allegations of foreign interference, particularly from China, which have come to light in recent years.
