Canadian Anthem Booing Persists Despite US Tariff Pause
Despite a temporary pause in trade negotiations, Canadian sports fans in Vancouver, Toronto, and Ottawa continued to express their disapproval of recent U.S. economic policies by booing the American national anthem before NHL and NBA games. This follows similar protests at games earlier in the week. The demonstrations coincided with a month-long delay in the implementation of new tariffs. While Canadian fans cheered loudly for “O Canada,” the jeering of “The Star-Spangled Banner” highlights the ongoing tension between the two countries.
