Canadians Boo US National Anthem Amid Trump Tariffs

Vancouver Canucks fans booed the U.S. national anthem at Rogers Arena before a game against the Detroit Red Wings, reflecting a growing trend among Canadian sports fans in response to recent U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The booing started as anthem singer Agasha Mutesasira began singing and continued throughout, with fans later applauding her performance rather than the song itself. This incident follows similar reactions in Ottawa and Toronto, indicating a broader discontent among Canadians regarding the trade tensions with the U.S. The tariffs, set to take effect soon, have fueled these expressions of frustration at sporting events. While some fans expressed their disapproval of the booing as disrespectful, others defended it as a justified protest. The situation highlights the impact of political issues on national pride and sports culture in Canada.
