I would agree, Christopher, that the two sentences might seem to have slightly different nuances, if viewed out of context. But I would argue that they still convey the same basic meaning, and that they are both correct. And suppose they were "in context"? That is, following a sentence like this: "Popular demonstrations in Canada over the U.S. seizure of Canadian assets ended Wednesday. But..tension continued to grow on both sides/on each side of the border." I don't think it makes much difference which one you use. The reader will get the point, either way. IMO, of course. Joan
