I hope this doesn’t sound mean-spirited, but I can’t say I feel a great sense of security knowing Stephane Dion will henceforth represent Canada in the salons of the European Union (oh, and Germany). It’s not that Dion is unsuited for the job, or might have difficulty adapting to the gilded halls and spacious debating chambers of Brussels and the other EU capitals (including Germany). Recent accomplishments include a total failure to deal intelligently with the flood of refugees fleeing Syria in search of safer shores. RelatedHis stint as Foreign Minister isn’t the best means by which to evaluate Dion’s career, though. So it’s probably a good thing to get Dion away from any role in Washington.
