Peter Yuen , then a Toronto Police Service superintendent, attended a Queen’s Park ceremony in 2016 .

In a photo published afterwards, Yuen appears to be saluting the Chinese flag while it is being raised outside the legislature.

Yuen also attended a Chinese military parade in Beijing in 2015 at the invitation of the communist government.

He also served briefly on the academic advisory board of a private Toronto high school that offers in-person and online classes to overseas Chinese students.

Cheuk Kwan , co-chairman of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China , said he had several concerns about Yuen ’s relationships with the Chinese consulate and conduct at PRC events.

Yuen was hastily picked to run in Markham earlier this month after incumbent Liberal MP Paul Chiang was forced to withdraw.

Kwan said Toronto police officers should not go to the PRC consulate in uniform and should not be saluting the Chinese flag.
