Damian Penny informs us about Canada's support for war on Iraq:

Meanwhile, a nationwide poll shows that Canadians are almost equally divided on the Iraq issue - 41% are opposed to war, 40% support it. Suppory varies widely across the country - 57% of Albertans are in favor, but only 23% of respondents in Quebec.

Earlier there was sentiment in the blogosphere for making Colby Cosh's excellent (though football-challenged) province the 51st state. I heartily approve. Alberta is the most pro-American and capitalistic of the Canadian prefects, and its star should grace our flag.

But admission to our fair country is not free. Alberta must prove itself by performing a feat that even the smallest American state can do:

Alberta must defeat Walter Mondale in mortal combat.
