You'll recall she is the person whose lawsuit set off the whole niqab fuss.

Canada is the richer by one tough lady.

It would be nice if we could put the whole thing behind us fast, but I'm not betting on it. I do notice that Nanos has the NDP coming back up in the polls; I hope that will continue.

I notice that in her photos Mrs. Ishaq seems to be wearing eye makeup. No doubt it's traditional. For some reason I find this deeply reassuring.
