Immigration Minister
Someone over at the Western Standard group blog is predicting that Ruby Dhalla, a young Punjabi (Sikh) woman will probably become the next immigration minister.
God, I hope not. If our image isn't being ruined enough as it is by Ujjal, I hope to god that someone whose perceived as an inexperienced rookie, lacking any qualification for executive office whatsoever, doesn't get catapulted into the cabinet... for no good reason, except of course that she'd probably even further lock up the South Asian vote in the next election. (Ujjal can't do that alone, he's too alienating within the Sikh community.)
And if Paul Martin did choose to go that route, I genuinely hope that he'd pick Navdeep Bains. Navdeep is from a neighbouring riding, he won his own nomination battle (a huge nomination battle), he seems reasonably intelligent. I met him for about five seconds this past summer, when his cousin introduced me "Oh, meet Japnaam Singh, he's a conservative." I didn't really know what to say after that. He just tried to re-assure me and his cousin with an uncomfortable smile... that I wasn't THAT bad of a person.
Update: Let me clarify, I wasn't explicitly questioning Ruby Dhalla's intellectual capabilities... I was just stating the obvious perception that they're lacking. She's a former Bollywood actress/model... not someone most people would imagine in cabinet.

haaaa akj.org with a line threw it, putting up tapoban.org to show ur 'affilation' with their site. Man you guys are a joke. Why do you make your beef publicized? I remember highschool kids would do that over msn whenever they would get into fights. YO F*CK THIS SCHOOL THEY GOT BEEF. Man you guys are a joke, thas all i can say.
Do you know me? Because I clearly don't you, nor would I want to know your type--the uneducated fake taksali from Toronto.
I've outlined my reasons for crossing the Akj.org link on the side of my site, it has very little to do with my affiliation with "Tapoban" and very much to do with the site itself.
