Hi, fellow Canadian!

To some degree there's a need to pick a side, because the alternative is to get stomped on by both (like what's happening now).

Actually I'm not from the Americas (though one of my ancestors did decide to leave Florida in the 1830s or 40s cos he had very dark coloured skin).

And I disagree that there's a need to "pick a side" - both "sides" will stomp on smaller countries no matter what because that's what authoritarian imperialistic powers do.
