Canadians Nationwide Rally Under 'Elbows Up' Amid US Tariff Threats

In response to U.S. tariffs and President Trump's provocative rhetoric regarding Canada's potential annexation, Canadians are experiencing a surge in nationalism, rallying under the slogan 'Elbows up.' This rallying cry, rooted in hockey culture, has inspired protests and a new podcast dedicated to civil defense strategies. Many Canadians are boycotting U.S. goods, canceling travel to the U.S., and removing American products from local stores, reflecting a deep sense of betrayal. Events have been organized across the country, including a significant rally in Ottawa that drew over 1,000 participants who expressed their frustrations and solidarity. As the relationship between Canada and the U.S. deteriorates, discussions about national identity and sovereignty are intensifying among Canadians. Observers note that this situation marks a pivotal moment in Canadian history, reshaping its interactions with its neighbor to the south.
