… well, as I’m writing this on Saturday the 6th, it may be too soon to tell.

It was too soon. Dion resigned today. Mr. Leblanc quits. On Don Newman’s Politics he says, “I concluded that I shouldn’t allow my personal ambition to stand in the way of the party coming together around a new leader as quickly as possible”. (9:52; below)

For that, he probably deserves to become leader the next time. I’d like to hear more politicians putting ambition aside for greater goods.
