I think that there is an obvious problem in expecting American citizens to wander through Canada in order to get to our own Alaska. So I agree to the Vancouver deal and suggest we reinstitute the policy of Manifest Destiny until every red blooded American boy and girl can walk from L.A. to Anchorage undeterred.
It will come in handy when our politicians get us in the middle of another Viet Nam - more places to cross the border.
And as for you, Peter T.: We provided a lot more than Abraham Lincoln - Bubba Clinton for example, and Jimmy Carter's little brother Billy, and Elvis Presley... I could go on forever. What has Canada given us besides Robertson Davies?
