2018年4月29日，安省保守党Markham-Unionville选区将选出谁将代表该选区参加6月初的安省大选。上周六，我们介绍该选区四名保守党提名候选人之一的彭锦威。今天我们将介绍另一位提名人蒋嘉勤。其他两位提名人李国贤和陶佳才没有回复大中报的提问。

Last Saturday, we introduced one of the 4 declared Chinese nominees (Billy Pang) for the up coming Markham-Unionville Ontario PC Party nomination on April 29, 2018. We are now presenting another nominee Charles Jiang. The other two Chinese nominees Joe Li ( 李国贤 ) and Kai Tao (陶佳才)did not respond to our requests .

问：你为什么想成为省议会议员？

Q：Why do you want to be a Provincial Member of Parliament (MPP)?

答：我参加竞选是为了给Markham-Unionville选区的百姓一个响亮而清晰的声音。过去两年来，我把全部时间和精力投入到社区并了解如何更好地为人民服务。 Markham-Unionville选区的人们感到该选区的现任省自由党议员没有代表他们的利益，他们需要这个新选区有一个反应该选区人口面貌的省议员。这个选区的选民都是受过高等教育的，辛勤工作的专业人士和企业家，他们的社会价值观和对经济的看法与福特和安省保守党的执政纲领一致。他们对韦恩用纳税人的钱购买选票，对高涨的水电费，没有任何作用的碳税和毫无道德底线不屑一顾。作为一名社区领袖，工程师和企业家，我知道该选区的那些辛辛苦苦为生活奔波的选民正在寻找一位能够把该选区变成加拿大高科技之乡的省议员。我就是他们所需要的那种人。

A：I am running to give the people of Markham-Unionville a loud and clear voice. I have been working full time for over two years to learn about the community intimately and find out how best to serve the people. The people of Markham-Unionville feel misrepresented by the incumbent Liberal MPP and need a representative who truly reflects the demographics of the newly formed riding. The people in our riding are highly-educated, hardworking professionals and entrepreneurs whose social values and fiscal views align with Doug Ford and the PC platform. They’re fed up with Kathleen Wynne using taxpayer money to buy votes, as well as sky-high hydro bills, useless carbon taxes, and ethical shortcomings. As a community leader, engineer, and entrepreneur, I know the hardworking people of Markham-Unionville are looking for a leader who can truly turn it into the High-Tech Capital of Canada. I will be the representative that they need.

 

问：你能告诉读者为什么你认为自己有资格成为省议员？

Q: Can you tell us why do you think you qualify as a (MPP)?

答：我是大多伦多华人社区的代表，同时也是一位与Markham-Unionville选区内不同族裔有密切关系的社区领袖。在从事金融服务的过去17年中，我与不同族裔、不同行业，辛勤工作的家庭都有往来。同时，我也看到了政府的各项政策对他们生活的影响，那就是他们奉献得多，获得的少。作为一个省议员，如果希望对省府的政治产生任何影响，你不能完全依靠一个族裔的支持。除了我自己的华人社区外，我还得到了白人，南亚，希腊，科普特，黑人，菲律宾社区的支持。

A：I am a representative of the greater Chinese community, as well as a community leader who is well connected with all the diverse demographics of Markham-Unionville. In my last 17 years as a financial services provider, I have interacted with many hardworking families from all demographics and all walks of life, and I’ve seen how they’ve been affected by government policies – they work harder for less. As MPP, you cannot rely solely on one demographic’s support if you wish to have any impact on Queen’s park politics; I have support from the White, South Asian, Greek, Coptic, Black, Filipino communities, in addition to my own Chinese community.

 

我是渔人村中国文化中心的创始人和主席。我还担任了Markham-Unionville选区保守派选区协会的主席和Markham-Unionville保守党选区协会的副主席。我是约克区警民关系第五社区联络委员会的主要成员之一，并带头与第五区Fred Moffatt警员一起重新启动了居民联防项目。自从我更多地参与政治后，我积极支持补选中所有持保守派价值观的候选人（请访问我的网站：http：//charlesjiang.ca/index.php/about/了解详情）。我的对手在参与政治的程度上和与Markham-Unionville选区中多元文化的关系上都不如我。

I am the founder and chair of the Chinese Cultural Centre of Unionville, and I also served as President of the Markham-Unionville Conservative Electoral District Association and the Vice President of the Markham-Unionville PC EDA. I am a key member of the District #5 District Community Liaison Committee of the YRP and I spearheaded the movement to relaunch the Neighbourhood Watch program with District #5 Superintendent Fred Moffatt. I actively supported all the conservative valued candidates in their by-elections since I became more actively involved in politics (full info on my website:http://charlesjiang.ca/index.php/about/). None of my opponents can match my level of political involvement or my connections to the diverse communities of Markham-Unionville.

 

问：如果当选，你认为哪些是你选区内要解决的问题？

Q: If elected, what are your major local issues at Queen's Park?

 

答：如果我当选为省议员，我会优先考虑降低税收，邻里保安，大麻监管和创造就业机会。与福特一起，我们将吸引人们在安省投资和创业。我们将设法让安省成为人们能负担得起的省份，让那些勤奋的纳税人有更多的机会创造财富，而不是让政府用纳税人的钱去收买选民。凭借我在硅谷，制造业和工程领域的背景，我将利用我独特的能力把万锦市打造成加拿大高科技之乡。此外，鉴于我在约克警民关系方面所发挥的积极作用，我将与万锦市的各个部门和选民合作，使我们的社区和儿童免遭罪犯和毒品的伤害。

A：When I am elected to Queen’s Park, I will prioritize lowering taxes, neighbourhood safety, marijuana regulation, and job creation. Together with Doug Ford, we will bring investment and businesses back to Ontario; we will make it affordable to live in Ontario and allow the hardworking taxpayers to have the opportunity to prosper without the government trying to milk them for their money. With my background in Silicon Valley, manufacturing, and engineering, I am uniquely able and prepared to personally work towards turning Markham into the true High-Tech Capital of Canada. Furthermore, given my active role with the YRP and the District 5 DCLC, I will work closely with the key stakeholders in Markham and keep our neighbourhoods and children safe from criminals and drugs.
 

 

问：你可以告诉读者你对所谓的“族裔选票”的看法吗？

Q：Can you tell us your views on the so-called “Heritage Votes”?

答：人们给与自己同族同宗的人投一票无可非议。但我坚信省议员必须代表整个社区。这就是为什么我得到了各个族裔的支持，我将反应各种选民的声音。

A：While it is understandable that people will want to vote for their own, I believe strongly that the MPP must represent the entire community. That is why I have gathered endorsements from diverse demographics and am committed to being a voice for all.

 

问：你有没有，或者你会将寻求现任的省议员，联邦议员、市议员或其他组织的支持？

Q：Have you, or will you get any endorsements from existing or past MPP, MP, Municipal Politicians, or others?

 

答：读者可以到我的网站查看都有哪些来自不同社区的商业和社区领袖对我支持（http://charlesjiang.ca/index.php/endorsements/）。知道我是最佳候选人，社区成员总是愿意支持我的竞选活动。另外，现任联邦议员和省议员不允许支持任何候选人。由于我参与了许多保守派政治家的补选，这使我与党内的有关方面有很好的关系。

A：My website has an extensive list of endorsements from business and community leaders, from all different communities (http://charlesjiang.ca/index.php/endorsements/). Members of the community are always willing to support my campaign because they know I’m the best candidate for the job. Sitting MPs and MPPs are not allowed to endorse nomination candidates, but my involvement with the by-elections of many conservative politicians has made me very well connected with party stakeholders.
