Like I say, I'm not too sure whether they knew more and were sugar coating this for the citizenry or whether they just had no idea. The more I think about it though, someone around them should've realised that this was a big deal!
There was an independent review done of the G7 members, and Canada scored as the country "best situated to receive the least negative impact" from the recession. The Conservatives made mention of this in the media, and everything was blown out of proportion by the Opposition parties and the Liberal/NDP biased media outlets... and the French (who don't even have a word for "entrepreneur" btw).
