OTTAWA – Toronto’s former deputy chief of police has replaced Paul Chiang as the Liberal candidate in Markham—Unionville.
The Liberal party says Peter Yuen was nominated after Chiang stepped down as the federal party’s candidate in the Ontario riding.
Yuen served in the Toronto Police Service for 34 years and recently ran as a Liberal candidate in the Ontario provincial election, losing the Scarborough–Agincourt riding to Conservative candidate Aris Babikian.
Chiang stepped down as a Liberal candidate in Markham—Unionville last week after he suggested to a media outlet that a political opponent could be turned over to Chinese officials for a bounty.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney denounced Chiang’s comments but stood by the candidate before he dropped out.
Candidate nominations close Monday, three weeks before Canadians choose a new government and prime minister.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 6, 2025.
