Thursday digest

- This week, Barack Obama demonstrated his lack of foreign policy acumen by referring to "the president of Canada". Problem is, we have a Prime Minister. He might take "ignorant and naive" positions, but at least Obama's not from Texas, right?

- Does Hillary have a hidden agenda?

- It's enough to turn me into a 100% stark raving libertarian: just why is it the government's business what this woman wants to call herself?!?

- The more things change, the more they stay the same on the Canadian national unity file.

- Stephen Harper ought to take note of the Republican decline in the US, which can be directly traced to selling out one's base.

- The latest indication that the Chinese economic threat is overblown, here.

- Every little guy should be taught how to fail, and more importantly, how to bounce back, from a very young age.
