Summary
Former Liberal MP and MPP Han Dong is officially running for Toronto city council in Scarborough North, bringing his extensive federal and provincial political experience to the municipal race. After stepping away from the federal Liberals in 2023 amid foreign interference allegations — later cleared by a public inquiry — Dong is now positioning himself as a candidate focused on economic growth, job creation, and fiscal responsibility. His entry into local politics promises to stir up the ward’s political landscape ahead of this fall’s election. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
