Caucus Meeting: Arnold Chan and Dasong Zou

caucus meeting: I didn't expect that in two months I could turn the ship around, Singh said Wednesday after his party's weekly caucus meeting on Parliament Hill, according to CTV. On Monday, Liberal Jean Yip retained Scarborough-Agincourt, a riding that had been held by her husband, Arnold Chan, until his death from cancer in September. And the newly minted leader is waving off suggestions that he didn't do enough to help an NDP candidate in the suburban Toronto riding of Scarborough-Agincourt, holding a so-called Jagmeet-and-greet -- billed by the candidate himself as a byelection campaign event -- well outside the actual riding where Brian Chang was trying to win a seat. She captured 49.4 per cent of the vote, followed by Conservative Dasong Zou who pulled in 40.5 per cent. He scraped together fewer than 1,000 votes. Chang wound up with just 5.1 per cent, down almost three percentage points from the NDP's already poor showing in the riding during the 2015 general election. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
