Can XAML be modified via LINQ?

XAML: A canvas, I have a few buttons and rectangles.

Challenge: Remove the rectangles from the Canvas using only their types, but leaving the existing buttons alone.

Thoughts: I've wondered if this is possible with LINQ, but I'm stupid green to LINQ. I have seen LINQ used to query an SQL database and XML, but I've never seen an example of it tweaking XAML objects. I'm thinking it's theorically possible.

Discoveries:

I've discovered:

1. I can loop through all of the elements in a Canvas by referencing its "Children".

2. I can use the "GetType" method to find an element's type.

3. Calling the "Remove" method of a Canvas inside of a foreach loop throws the program into an error.
