Liberal Leader Mark Carney says Paul Chiang's comments suggesting people turn a Conservative candidate over to the Chinese consulate to collect a bounty are 'deeply offensive,' but that Chiang will remain as the Liberal candidate in Markham-Unionville. The Power Panel and Toronto Association for Democracy in China co-chair Cheuk Kwan react to Carney's defence of Chiang. Plus, TheWrit.ca's Éric Grenier analyzes how the Liberal polling lead in CBC's Poll Tracker has grown after a week on the campaign trail.
