2015 is only 2 years from now so I doubt much different. Then again, a world war could break out, there could be a Berlin Wall type moment, so who knows.

Justin Trudeau will lead the Liberal Party of Canada to a minority government and win the confidence of the house to become Prime Minister, supported by the New Democratic Party. As per current party policy, there will be serious discussions about how to go about properly legalizing marijuana. Liberals will also form a minority government in Quebec, and a new provincial NDP will be well into the planning stage for being established there to compete against them.

Our real estate bubble will have popped and prices will be in sharp decline throughout the land, especially in British Columbia. Smaller, but significant declines will effect housing prices in greater Toronto and the Albertan cities.

The Europeans will have founded a central bank and will harmonize monetary policy in the Eurozone. Anti-immigrant sentiment will be rising to a fevered pitch in several economically depressed European countries and Canada will begin to modestly tighten its currently liberal immigration policies due to much milder dissatisfaction with immigration on this side of the pond.

We will have a transcanadian pipeline to carry bitumen from the oil patch all the way to refineries in Eastern Canada.

Solar power will have reached the technological level where investments in large scale solar capacity will start to become quite significant in North America.

A serious challenger to youtube will emerge.

Let's hear it.
What in a year and a half? Pretty much the same - austerity.

Let's hear it.
’s predictions and World forecasts for the year 2015 and next 10 years in brief summary format:


Environment: Continued increasing popularity and awareness of sustainability in environment, and the environmental movement gaining even more momentum for practical actions in sustainability and preserving the environment. Cities trying to become a bit more ecologically friendly.

Culture: A balance in Globalization while also maintaining and having the local authentic culture of various countries+regions.

Entertainment:
I have so much optimism for even more excitement and variety in entertainment options. However, more people have to appreciate and remember well all of the entertainment options.

Religion:
More people attracted to forms of spirituality and not as much for religion. However, some areas of the World is going to continue popularity in religious traditions. The world becoming more secular, while also maintaining sense of spirituality.

Politics:
Becoming a bit overrated in some countries, but the stubborn politicians would desperately try to monopolize their influence in the country’s government systems. A sociologically divided competition between progressive vs. moderate vs. conservative mindsets, but progressive wins in the end. Some people truly forgetting the variety of political beliefs.

Economy:
Too much pessimism and bitter opinions with economy. Despite all of the economic problems, and the precarious vulnerability in economy, the economy actually has plenty of benefits, having a prominent role in the collateral functioning of the world, and is at a near maximum in world history for economic wealth, opportunities, and equality, especially compared to 50 to 100+ years ago.

I believe USA and China are able to get along relatively well, especially for the vast majority of people in each country that don't work in politics, even with the differences in current government/politics system.

USA’s economy is continuing to do very well, despite some negative views, but China’s economy is growing more quickly, and with slower growth in USA. This can easily reverse in the future for economic situation.

A large amount of countries are sharing the world economic wealth and opportunities, so there is no need for competition between too many countries. There should be continued peace and unity for at least 25 to 100 countries total.

I guess this is another prediction for the year 2015 and future years from .
