Canada made the cover of The Economist this week. The focus of the piece was the looming election and the editorial content surrounded the economic implications of Canada's decidedly "fubar" government at the moment. What I found most interesting was to read about our political trials through the eyes of another. The page 9 snapshot is a quick and fascinatinng read purely to observe how one writer frames the Canadian condition for readers around the world. It may not be an objective or correct view ... but as my friend Jodi pointed it - "it will be the view that many will hold about Canada" for the time being. The Economist is not a light-weight publication and its commentary on global issues is held in regard around the world. I would encourage you to take a look at this week's issue and find out if the portrait painted is to your taste. And then, think about what you plan to do in the next election. Cause this time the world is watching.
