CALGARY- Actor and comedian Andrew Phung is calling on non-profit agencies to cut ties with W. Brett Wilson after the businessman and philanthropist accused Mayor Naheed Nenshi of playing the race card in the last civic election.
Wilson has been a vocal critic of the $4.9 billion Green Line LRT project, which was an issue in the 2017 campaign.
The Calgary-born Phung — best known for his role as Kimchee on the show ‘Kim’s Convenience’ — says he will no longer emcee or host events run by any organization that works with Wilson.
Wilson has since apologized to the mayor for what he calls his “thoughtless and inflammatory” remark and says he has a track record of supporting many forms of diversity.
