"Hughes later described herself as a "lifelong friend and supporter of the Jewish community in Winnipeg" and apologized for the "perception" that she is anti-Semitic.
But the apology wasn't enough for her party leader.
"The Liberal party's commitment to tolerance and multiculturalism is paramount," Dion said in a statement.
"I have reviewed the past comments of Lesley Hughes and it is clear they do not meet this standard. While I appreciate her apology, I cannot condone those sentiments in any way.
"I have therefore asked Ms. Hughes to step down as the Liberal party candidate in Kildonan-St. Paul." "

Rutherford (CTS) this morning mentioned that the "racist Conservative" story was marked as URGENT on the newswire, and yet didn't even mention the Liberal candidate above. (I wanted to listen to the PM's news conference which was going to be "live".. and he talked about this while waiting)
You can't tell me that there isn't bias with this as a prime example....
