On Monday's livestream, Sheila Gunn Reid and Tamara Ugolini discussed the federal government's creation of a 'candidate security program' following revelations former Liberal MP Paul Chiang called for his political opponent to be handed over to the Chinese Communist Party.

A panel representative from the Critical Election Incident Public Protocol outlined the basis for the new security program during a press conference on Monday.

"This program provides an additional layer of security through unarmed, private sector security services to candidates who feel intimidated or threatened," the spokesperson explained.

The announcement came after it was revealed the former Liberal candidate for Markham-Unionville, Paul Chiang, suggested people turn in the Conservative candidate for Don Valley North, Joe Tay, to the Chinese consulate for a HK$1 million bounty during a media conference.

The Chinese Communist Party, through the Hong Kong police, issued the bounty on Tay in 2024 due to his activism supporting pro-democracy efforts in Hong Kong.

"This is elections officials trying to react to the fact that Mark Carney fails to act," said Sheila. "Like 'what do we do? I guess we have to do something.' Because Mark Carney isn't turfing the candidate that said 'yeah you should kidnap him and turn him over to the Chinese killers for a million bucks.'"

Chiang announced late Monday evening that he will be 'stepping aside' as the Liberal candidate for Markham-Unionville after significant backlash.

    All security services MUST be armed. Liberals have let crime spiral out of control for too long and the judges are too leftist for our own good. We need the death penalty for those who shoot anybody dead apart from self defence. And serious sentences must be given to those criminals who misuse guns. That will get the crime stats way down and eliminate those out-of-control people who figure bullets are for settling scores.
