NHL Game: Canadian Fans Protest During U.S. Anthem
On February 1, 2025, during an NHL game at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Canadian fans expressed their discontent with recent U.S. trade policies by booing the American national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” This reaction came shortly after President Donald Trump announced significant tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, including a 25% duty on Canadian goods entering the United States.
In response to these U.S. tariffs, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced matching 25% tariffs on up to $155 billion worth of U.S. imports, including alcohol and fruit, set to take effect on Tuesday.
The booing incident at the hockey game reflects the broader public sentiment in Canada, where citizens and officials alike have expressed frustration over the escalating trade tensions. This event underscores the deepening rift between the neighboring countries as they navigate the complexities of international trade relations.
