The title is a quote from Finance Minister Jim Flaherty on the present state of our economy. Here’s how the media is weighing in:

CTV.ca: Flaherty to establish economic advisory council
National Post: Economy ‘getting worse month by month’
KCI Investing: Canada’s Stimulus Dance

And coalition government update #347:

The Edmonton Journal: Ignatieff is too smart to topple Harper
Orillia Packet & Times: Coalition could spell end of country
Toronto Star: Layton not expecting ‘miracle’

The woman who held our whole government in her hands earlier this month, Governor General Michaelle Jean, was featured on the cover of the final published issue of Saturday Night magazine.

In the accompanying article, she said, rather prophetically, “Everything is possible in this country.”

Engaging. Intelligent. Irreverent. Sophisticated. Contrarian… and Fun.

Since 1887, Saturday Night has been this country’s national magazine. Today, we pick up on that long tradition of excellence, taking it into the future. Through SaturdayNight.ca, we’ll canvas the country and present you with a unique and intriguing perspective on our national life in politics and power, sex and crime, entertainment and culture, arts and literature, style and design.

We’re just getting started, so please bear with us through the – hopefully temporary – shambolic mess that accompanies every magical reboot.
