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.
On Sunday, during a National Basketball Association game between the Toronto Raptors and the Los Angeles Clippers, it happened again, continuing throughout the song and almost drowning out the 15-year-old singer's arena performance.
The vocal displeasure from usually respectful fans is a clear sign of Canadians' deep dismay at Trump's move to hit its nearest ally with punitive taxes, which threaten to spark an unprecedented trade war on the North American continent.
The 25% tariffs imposed by Trump on all Canadian imports into the US - with a lower 10% levy on energy - are set to take effect on Tuesday.
And they come as President Trump doubles down on his push - no longer dismissed as a joke - for Canada to join America and become the 51st state.
While many economists project the tariffs will also drive up costs for Americans on everyday essentials, from gas to groceries, Canada is the more exposed trade partner. If they last for months, the country could tip into a painful economic recession.

Increase the tariff to 60 percent.
misguided patriotism
Wankers!
They are ignorant that Canada has pretty much turned into a cesspool by their left winged government and who the Chinese are using along with Mexico to infiltrate the US with fentanyl
Canadian border patrols haven’t been the sane since the loss of Dudley Do-Right.
Tell these frosted clowns we will be spending the tariff money on buying Greenland. That we will be kicking all Canadian teams out of the NHL and Major League Baseball.

I f my neighbor was selling fentanyl, I’d asked them to stop it. That’s all Trump did, and Canada and Mexico like he drug money so they said no. KMA Canucks.
Just a question. Why has Trump imposed 25% Tariffs on Canada but only 10% on Chyna?
Can understand why the Canadians might be annoyed.
They voted in a liberal maniac. That maniac is on board with the Chinese. The can boo the anthem, but they brought it on themselves.
They likely didn’t vote for th7s anymore than we did.
Guess which kind of voting machines Canada uses.
“ On Sunday, during a National Basketball Association game”
…Nadine isn’t much on sports I assume. NBA woulda done it😂
The Liberal radicals like here have the pulpit and media and like here they have those who are also mentally ill who believe
Back in the mid 2000’s a company I worked for hosted an international meeting we did annually in Toronto.with researchers from about a dozen countries. Most of them, and our US personnel, were severely hassled on arrival by Canadian Customs. Literally taken into side rooms and interrogated. That meeting put close to $100 k into their local economy. We continued to export but never invested another dime in Canada. F ‘em.
Lotta cars built in Canada.
Let’s bring that industry
home.
And in the EU which is next. Huge.
The question is do the benefits outweigh the consequences?
You wont know until later.
Someone (hardspunned) posted a link saying last time Trump did this it was a net benefit to the US economy.
Snow Mexicans.
10% additional tariffs on China. Tariffs on China are now 30-60% depending on what crap elwe import.
Control your borders, Canada, then you’ll have a market for your lumber.
