Was May sincere when she said "Sorry"?

My sincere thanks to "me dere robert", who posted a link in the comments of my original post on Ms. May's repeat insult to the Jewish community. His comment (which I think was intended to try and make me look foolish, though I can't be certain of that) has totally backfired and has brought to light something that adds more fuel to this little fire.

The link provided was to a Maclean's article, talking about how many MP's seem to like invoking Chamberlain's memory in their rhetoric. However, buried in the article was this little gem:

"With party leaders of all stripes calling on May to retract her statement that the abandonment of Kyoto targets is "a grievance worse than Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of the Nazis," the Green leader relented somewhat on Wednesday and offered a tepid apology."

In that "tepid apology", Ms. May had this to say, “I deeply regret that the inflamed rhetoric around this issue has caused pain or offence.”

When you appologize for something, I think it's a general understanding that you're saying you'll try to avoid doing it again... right? Well, if that's true, it would seem that she didn't really mean a word of that appology, since she so willingly re-ignited the flames of this offence.

Robert, thanks again for posting that Maclean's article.

I'll repeat the question from earlier today... will Mr. Dion distance himself from these offensive comments by Ms. May?

And while we're at it, let's go for broke and re-ask this question, for the sixth or seventh time... Mr. Dion, did you or did you not have anything to do with Ms. Kovach's ouster from the FCM?
