...Harper era's success may depend on Harper's ability to muster the passion and conviction to sell his vision of Canada's future to an electorate that gave him a mixed-message mandate. That's a tall order for an intensely private man who once hated even the thought of public life and who still lends himself to easy caricature. He allowed photographers to follow him as he walked his two children--Benjamin, 9, and Rachel, 7--to school near the opposition leader's house at Stornoway, only to attract titters from Canadian sophisticates at the pictures...

Naturally, such predictions depend on a huge number of assumptions that could easily be wrong. Both nations could be derailed by geopolitical instability or Western protectionism. Both need to overcome enormous regional disparities of wealth and spread their growing prosperity more evenly among their populations. Davos had a well-attended session that focused...
...corrupt local officials have pocketed the money. In Guangdong alone, two million farmers have been displaced by development, according to provincial statistics. These land seizures were one of the top causes for the 84,000 "disturbances to public order" that Beijing says broke out nationwide in 2005. "We farmers depend on our mountain and our lake to make a living," says Lin's brother. "Now that they've taken them away, how can we continue our lives...
