i know this isn't exactly relevant to this specific topic, but i will say this...
As an American i don't feel any [particular kinship to Canadians or Mexicans, but if i hear Asians or Europeans slagging off Canadians or Mexicans, you better believe i will stick by my North American brothers if need be.
As compeditive as we are, the truth is, i do take pride when i see how successful Canada and Mexico are in different ways. if i have to choose between rooting for Canada or Britain? i choose canada every day of the week. if i have to choose between supporting Mexico or Brazil? i choose Mexico every day of the week.
North America, even though there is no real formal union between our countries, i still am proud of our continent, and i love my frosty pale neighbors to the north, and my sun kissed angry neighbors to the south. At the end of the day, we have a pretty damn good continent. I think we are the continent that has been at peace for the longest amount of time.
