"To whom it may concern:
 
Monday's Toronto Globe & Mail published an op-ed penned by Blue Knox suggesting that my husband, Brad, is both a racist and a protectionist.
 
I won't comment on Brad's views on trade. That's a policy question for him and his campaign to respond to. 
 
Accusing Brad of racism, however, is another matter altogether.
 
As a visible minority (born and raised in Asia) and a proud New Canadian, I am personally offended by this completely unfounded allegation. Not only is it ignorant and hurtful to Brad and me - imagine how our young daughter will feel reading this sort thing about her father years from now.

...........

Shame on Blue Knox, and shame on the Globe & Mail editorial staff for your callous disregard for the truth. You owe both my family and your readers a full retraction and apology.
