Yikes, Chiang’s comment was totally out of line—joking or not, it feeds into serious concerns about foreign interference that we can’t afford to take lightly. That said, I do think Carney handled it better than past leaders might have by acknowledging it was wrong instead of brushing it off. Still, the Liberals need to show they’re taking foreign influence seriously if they want to keep progressive voters on board. We expect better judgment and accountability from the folks we vote for.
