Trump tariffs booed in Canada as Trudeau calls for national unity

Canadians have begun booing the US anthem at sports games, signalling the depth of anger at steep tariffs issued by Trump.

A few hours after President Donald Trump announced that he would impose steep tariffs on Canada, hockey fans in the capital Ottawa booed the Star-Spangled Banner during a National Hockey League game against a visiting US team.

    Idk I don’t think most Canadians have ever had much respect for Americans.

      Canadian reporting in-only partially true. I have next to no respect for America the institution but I care about individual Americans just as much as my neighbors down the street.

      We play your national anthem when you visit because it costs nothing to make you feel welcome while you visit us.

      Trump being an asshole doesn’t mean we have to change our values. Kindness and mutual respect shouldn’t be transactional.

      In their defense, not even Americans have respect for Americans: I mean, look at the shit stain we just chose to represent us.
