If he'd wrote that piece in Macleans as just Andrew Potter there would be no controversy. Unfortunately, he wrote it as head of the institute to study Canada which is a different kettle of fish. Maggie can write what she wants as a columnist but if she were the head of an institute she would have to be more careful because there is more at stake.  There is no evidence of political interference. There is only Maggie Wente and the other tin foil right wing types on here making ignorant speculation cause they have an ideological  axe to grind. ('Oh poor us victims we can't say what we want on campus' Whatever.) Potter himself admits to screwing up so whats with the faux outrage? The only victims here are Globe subscribers.
