If misspellings indicated half-wit morons 100% of Internet posters would qualify. So people don't always spell correctly or type correctly. It's not the end of the world. As to Canada's economy, it's socialism, and inevitably will fail. A short drive through New Brunswick should convince anyone they've just entered a third-world country.

Hey, it's a beautiful place, and by and large the people seem (excluding Quebec) friendly. But the economy is not a raging tiger.

Overall, I'd say she pictured your boy Martin quite well!

And if misspellings were her only problem, then you might have a point. Any slim credibility she may have had after spelling formal place names incorrectly pretty much disappeared when she couldn't even get her facts right.

If Canada's economy is in bad shape, then this doesn't speak very well for the United States. As someone who does business on both sides of the border, I can tell you that from an overall standpoint Canada is a better climate for business right now than the U.S.

I'm not just making that up, either . . . the global currency market reflects this sentiment, too. Against the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar is 6% stronger today than it was a year ago, 13% stronger than it was two years ago, and 35% stronger than it was three years ago.

As opposed to what -- Detroit? Los Angeles?
