How times have changed. A generation ago, a Sikh turban signified the narrow universe of ethnic bloc voting and electoral liability; today, Navdeep Bains might as well be a future leader of the federal Liberals. The only possible crimp on his cinching reelection is that a nondescript Tory opponent actually cracked the 30% mark in '06 (though that may have been token reflection of the SSM issue more than anything).

Navdeep Bains is reasonably popular here and certainly Harper's low blow against him was unreasonable, although somehow I doubt that will be a central issue in the next election. Neverthless of the Mississauga ridings, this is the most Liberal of them all so even if the Tories due pick up any Mississauga ridings, this won't be it.

Navdeep Bains played a big role in the last leadership and will play a big role in the future of the Liberal party. He was safe even if he did nothing over the last year. With all he has done and the personal attacks on this family by the PM which have gone over like a lead balloon- the Liberals can deposit this one as a sure bet.
