Several weeks ago I had lunch with Linda Seebach, columnist for the Rocky Mountain News in Denver. This morning her column in the News was based on our conversations and my book, which she had read. It's a nice summary.
She also makes mention of a new initiative, the Mountain West Connections Project, which the Anglosphere Institute is preparing to launch in the near future. This will be focused on intra-Anglosphere relations in the Mountain West region of North America. The Anglosphere Institute has basically been inactive, as we have been concentrating on gaining enough support to launch some initiatives. Hopefully, we are close to relaunch. The Connections Project will be one of those initiatives. I expect to blog more about it in the near future.

" Neither the U.S. nor Canada is entirely composed of common-law jurisdictions,..."
Excuse my ignorance, but as an Australian I had always believed that both the US & Canada were common law jurisdictions subject of course to legislative intervention, & subject to maybe some Civil Code sympathy/effect in the Francophone areas of Canada.
Also, please advise of any Australian affiliates or associates of the Anglosphere Institute.

Louisiana and Quebec are both under civil law codes. Not a matter of sympathy, but of fundamental law.
