Calgary police investigate Liberal MP-elect George Chahal

 

Former Calgary city councillor captured on camera removing opponent's campaign material from porch

 

An investigation has been launched into an incident involving Liberal MP-elect George Chahal, Calgary police confirm. 

Chahal, formerly a city councillor, ran for the Liberals in the riding of Calgary Skyview and captured the sole non-Conservative seat in the city from incumbent Jag Sahota on Monday. 

The day before the election, he was captured on a doorbell camera removing one of Sahota's campaign flyers and replacing it with one of his own. 

A Calgary police spokesperson confirmed that a complaint was received.

"The report has been directed to our Anti-Corruption Unit that handles investigations of a sensitive nature or involving a public official," read a statement from the spokesperson. 

"We are in the very early stages of the investigation and at this point we have not yet determined if the investigation will remain with CPS or be transitioned to another investigative body, such as Elections Canada."    Read More
