R Rob Vernon, B.C. Jan. 24: It's hard to look at Mr. Douthat's words and not see a sort of casual American arrogance and dismissiveness. But if polling was done on the topic of states and provinces wishing to join each other's countries, I feel confident that there are close to a dozen American states that would show real interest in joining Canada, while absolutely no province, not even Alberta, would have any interest in joining the U.S.
