Absolutely. I've already published some of this. I have a number of articles that have been published in scholarly journals. I have some other ones that are in a more accessible format, which I'd be glad to pass on to the committee.
The regional differences in Canada with respect to attitudes in the United States are relatively straightforward and fairly easy to understand. For example, generally speaking, we find Albertans and, almost to the same extent, Ontarians more sympathetic and favourably oriented to the United States.
We have found one difference, really, which is for Quebec. Quebec went through a period of relatively negative views of the United States. The recent data I've seen suggests that's really improved quite significantly. It looks maybe a little more like it used to during the original free trade debate, when Quebeckers were ahead of the curve in some respects on attitudes to free trade in the early 1990s.
There are some other interesting differences as well. The really interesting differences, I think, occur more along demographic than social class lines. In the United States, the regional differences are extremely difficult to understand. American regional differences are very complex.
I mentioned that Americans and Canadians overall look relatively similar on many key issues and values, but the internal heterogeneity, the internal differentiation, within the United States is much more diversified than it is in Canada, and not just on a regional basis. American society is much more divided on issues of social class and race. We find much more consensus in Canada on many of the key issues than we do in the United States.
Yes, there are differences, certainly, that would occur across border states, but some of them are quite puzzling. I can pass those along. There are some recurring patterns, but there, they're considerably more challenging from a research perspective than understanding the more stable, familiar, and frankly less exaggerated patterns of difference across region and demographics that we see in Canada.
