Trump tariffs booed in Canada as Trudeau calls for national unity
www.bbc.com
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.

    As a Canadian I agree. It’s fucking weird and I’ve thought so since I was a child. Every Monday they’d play the anthem at schools too which I always thought was fucking weird.

      My kids school plays the anthem every single day. I have complained many times.

          Aging myself here - But we used to sing the anthem every morning at school. And when I was in catholic school (montreal in the 80s only had catholic or protestant schools, no secular board existed in public schooling) that was followed by the lord’s prayer.

          I hate both now.

          Yup. And they are expected to stop what they are doing immediately. Remove any head cover aside from religious articles and stand at attention. It’s fucking insane. Public school.
