The Canadian prime minister continuously shoots himself in the feet.
Canada’s current prime minster Mark Carney is once again under fire for his behaviour. However, this time the left side of the political spectrum is calling him out as well.
Carney has refused to fire MP Paul Chiang after he advocated for kidnapping his political opponent and handing him over to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
This decision has lead to blowback from the right, and from unlikely places on the left, with both Robyn Urback and Andrew Coyne joining in on the Carney dogpile.
Ubrack wrote in a recent column for the Globe and Mail that it is “astonishing – and reprehensible – that Paul Chiang remains a Liberal candidate.”
A Liberal can literally call for his opponent to be kidnapped, just so long as the polling is still in his favour.”
Coyne jumped in, asking “why did it occur to you to specifically suggest that members of the public should kidnap your political opponent and hand him over to a regime that, besides being a bestial dictatorship, is hostile to Canada?”
It is too early to tell whether Carney’s refusal to fire Chiang has resulted in a wider shift in opinion from the Canadian left.
Recent polls indicate that the Liberal Party under Carney is poised to win the next federal election, which is set to be held on Apr. 28.
