In a display of frustration over the ongoing trade dispute between Canada and the United States, hockey fans in Ottawa and Toronto have taken to booing the American national anthem at games in recent days. This wave of anti-American sentiment comes as President Donald Trump imposes tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, sparking backlash from fans across the border.

During a matchup between the Ottawa Senators and the Pittsburgh Penguins, fans at the Canadian Tire Centre could be heard booing as the Star-Spangled Banner played prior to the game. This sentiment was echoed at a Toronto Raptors game, where fans at the Air Canada Centre showed their disapproval by booing the anthem as well.

The actions of these passionate fans highlight the growing tension between the two countries as trade relations remain strained under the Trump administration. The booing of the national anthem serves as a symbolic gesture of dissent and disapproval towards Trump's tariffs, reflecting a sentiment shared by many Canadians.
