Elections Canada records show Calgary Skyview Conservative candidate Amanpreet Singh Gill previously made donations to the federal Liberal party as well as Liberal MP George Chahal’s riding association.
According to filings from Elections Canada, Gill made multiple donations to the Liberal Party of Canada and one donation to the Calgary Skyview Federal Liberal Association in 2022.
The documents show a $500 donation by Gill to Chahal’s riding association on Jul. 8, 2022. Chahal was elected as the Liberal MP for Calgary Skyview in 2021 but is now running as a candidate in the neighbouring Calgary McKnight riding.
The other donations were made to the Liberal Party of Canada.
Gill also ran for Alberta’s United Conservative Party in the 2023 provincial election. He is now seeking federal office under the Conservative Party of Canada banner in the 2025 federal election.
Gill’s donation to the Calgary Skyview Federal Liberal Association came after incumbent Chahal was caught violating election advertising laws in 2021. He was caught on video removing an opponent’s flyer from a resident’s home, replacing it with his own, and fined $500 for violating election advertising laws.
Similarly, Chahal recently faced public scrutiny for not revealing if taxpayer funds were spent on pre-election ads.
Popular poll aggregator 338Canada currently has Calgary Skyview as a toss-up between the Liberals and Conservatives.
The federal election will take place on Apr. 28, 2025.
The NDP candidate for Calgary Skyview is Rajesh Angral. The Liberals have not yet named a candidate in the riding.
True North reached out to Gill for comment but received no reply.
