Dahl of a New Day

Well, Mr. Ignatieff has his first serious crisis to deal with. Ruby Dhalla. Perhaps the name isn't familiar to a lot of people. She was, until today, the Liberal Multicultural and Youth critic. Now she is fighting to clear her name. What did she do? Her family is accused of confiscating the passports of two live-in caregivers and forcing them to work long hours, often doing duties that had nothing to do with care giving.

Now we will see how the Liberals new found popularity holds up to the scrutiny of Stephen Harper's Tories. Harper is a master at making his opponents pay for any indiscretions. This is just the opportunity he has been waiting for. Over the next few weeks he will make every attempt to put the Liberals on the defensive. Based on his track record, you can expect him to be relentless.
