REALITY CHECK: One question Jason Kenney needs to answer

EDMONTON- Yesterday, Jason Kenney had an opportunity to explain if he still believes, as he did when he was an MP in Ottawa, that organizations should have the right to fire people for being gay. He dodged that question.

So, we’d like to give him the chance to answer one question as the PC Leader:

Does he believe organizations should have the right to fire people for being gay?
