The Next Pope?
Sandro Magister says "the signs are pointing to a single candidate," a churchman from "one of the most secularized regions of the planet, a talented theologian of the Ratzingerian school, now the prefect of the Vatican congregation that selects new bishops, and above all for many years a missionary in Latin America" — Classroom Exercises on Who Will Be the Next Pope.

Even before reading the article I knew it was Marc Cardinal Ouellet. It certainly is a possibility that he'd be the next Pope. How odd to think that the first Pope from the "New World" would be someone from such a secular/anti-Catholic place (curse words in Quebec are based on Catholic symbols!)
He certainly does fit the role well, but let's see who the Holy Spirit chooses.
God would chastise the Church with a French-Canadian pope? Perhaps. Although a pope whose first language was French would not be a sign not of the Church's vitality but its eventual surrender to the spirit of the age.
