Not often does a politician get to fix a mistake. Stephane Dion has been given a singularly unique opportunity. Seven months ago, Dion was uncomfortable with May's comments, and said that he thought the comment should have been withdrawn.C'mon, Steffi... how often does someone float a big, lumbering softball like this, right across the plate...
Now Stephane Dion can state that he is shocked by Elizabeth May's comments, and demand that the comment be withdrawn.
Yes, Stephane Dion is a very lucky politician. Such a rare opportunity. The question is whether he will take advantage of this opportunity.
Because if he doesn't, then he's guilty of failing the same key leadership test not once, but twice.
