Between a steady middle class immune to the fluctuations of the middle classes in other countries, not to mention yesterday&rsquo;s all-Canada final in the men&rsquo;s tennis, plus Eugenie Bouchard on the women&rsquo;s side, as well as ice hockey, curling and lacrosse, Canada is a nation holding its own while its counterparts around the globe soar and crash all around it.
