OTTAWA — Various indiscretions caught on audio or videotape became fodder Friday for opposition charges that Stephen Harper's Tories say one thing in public but another in private.
Liberals pounced on an eight-year-old audio recording of Jason Kenney, now secretary of state for multiculturalism, making disparaging remarks about Sikhs.
In the recording, first reported in 2000, Kenney can be heard discussing a rumour that a member of a Canadian Alliance riding association might be a member of a neo-Nazi group. At the time, Mr. Kenney was co-chair of the 2000 election campaign for the Alliance, predecessor of the Conservative party.
Mr. Kenney suggests the rumour might have been concocted by “overheated Sikhs using the race card, which they so often do when their credentials are being questioned.”

I guess statements like this, certainly qualifies Kenney for his present job as Secretary of State for Multiculturism
