MONTREAL (AP) -- Fans booed during the playing of the U.S. national anthem before the New York Islanders' 6-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night.

The sellout crowd of 21,273 at Bell Centre was asked to "show your support and respect for two great nations" before the singing of the American and Canadian national anthems.

Some Canadian org keeps running this commercial on tv about U.S. logging rules or something. Goes on about how Canada is such a great partner to the U.S., so why does the U.S. want to cause "economic hardship" on both sides of the border. Then says we should call our congresscritters to "get this relationship back on track."

Puh-leeze. Who is this org's advertising exec?

If you want to get the U.S.-Canadian trading relationship back on track with U.S. consumers, quit the stupid shyola such as displayed in this article.

I just checked & the "Canadians" are in the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference.Maybe they should be booing their team instead. It must be a sad being from Canadastan with hockey being your national sport & knowing that if it wasn't for the hated US,your sport would be history.

I think you've misunderestimated the NFL. Perhaps you meant the NHL?

Glad the Islanders kicked their ass. (Surprised their team didn't just surrender.)

The Boos were probably coming from the children of Vietnam draft dodgers who ran to Canada.

For the record, these were French-Canadians. Even the rest of Canada considers Quebec a bunch of a-holes.

Tabernac!!

Summary: Punishing new tariff on Canadian lumber is a bad omen for free trade, and a hardship for American consumers

By any measurement -- but especially by the board foot -- the Bush administration's decision to whack Canada with a 19.3 percent tariff on its lumber exports to the United States is a failure in trade policy and diplomacy.

The punishing new tariff on softwood lumber -- fir, cedar and the like -- was announced Aug. 10. It's already prompted nearly 2,000 layoffs at British Columbian lumber mills, and threatens to erase as many as 30,000 jobs there. Its costs will quickly spread to American consumers, who will pay up to $1,000 more for a new home, according to the National Association of Home Builders.
