A thought experiment: What would be the reaction if the head of the Conservative war room, Jason Kenney, had done the same thing? What if Kenney had written to the CBC, demanding that they no longer interview someone who had uttered bigoted remarks (oh, say, someone who had said that Chinese people eat cat meat, and serve it in Canadian restaurants)?
