America in 2012

December 31, 2011 Politics

If you expect to read some erudite predictions about 2012, you’ll be disappointed. We can all make educated guesses about what the future might bring, but true, gazing-in-a-crystal-ball predictions don’t exist.

McGuinty has come to be known as “Premier Dad” over the years, and now Canada also has a female counterpart, with Redford quickly proving that she’s up to the job of “Premier [...]
