It's Canada'' (Letter From the Americas, Sept. 24):  If it is
true that Canada has built ''a consensus among disparate
provinces to join in a confederation loosely governed by a weak
central government,'' it seems that our neighbor to the north
has achieved what the founders so desperately wanted for
themselves and those of us who followed: a true Jeffersonian
democracy.   New York, Sept. 24, 2003
