Ottawa hockey fans heard booing U.S. national anthem



Hours after U.S. tariffs against Canada were made official, many Ottawa hockey fans were heard booing the American anthem during the Minnesota Wild vs. Senators game. When asked about the booing, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at a media availability Saturday night that “emotions may run high here and there, particularly around hockey games.” (Feb. 2, 2025 / The Canadian Press)

  1. Ridiculous! It's NOT the USA citizen's fault this crap happened. BOO our asshats in government who put us in a 62 billion dollar deficit; allowed FOREIGN INTERFERENCE and major fentanyl drug cartels to run rampant and kill thousands in BC and across the country etc. ALL Trudeau et al had to do was clean this country up from the criminals and tighten the borders. HE DIDN'T DO fk ALL as usual. BLAME and boo our socialist criminals for this situation DON'T BOO at USA events it's just a game keep politics out of it.

  2. I'm Canadian and I think Trump and his people should be booed, not America or ordinary Americans. Most Americans don't want a trade war, and I still love the best of America.

  3. Canadians have gone from helping us sing our Anthem, to booing it. There are tons of Americans who support ya'll up there, especially those of us who have parents from both sides of the 49th. Do what you need to do to protect yourselves, and we'll do our part down here. Trump thinks you are all just weak and feeble – but he's the one who slithered out of serving his country. Ya'll fought and died in two wars to the tune of millions. The right wing of the US will learn not to confuse politeness for cowardice. Make them learn hard.

  4. The land of the free, yeah, what a f*&%&ng joke. The land of Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk. These three have as much money as the bottom 50% of American citizens. Google this, MAGA doubters. This is a perverse and depraved society .Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo not going to become the 51st state, no, never . . .

  5. As a Filipino guy who's lived in USA as a kid, I am very disappointed that the Canadians booed the anthem and showed no respect.
    I might as well encourage everyone who is against this excuse of a Canadian govt to boo the Canadian anthem in retaliation for this shameful act by Canadian fans.

  6. I'm a very angry Canadian BUT I try to keep in mind that somewhere around, oh, 65% of Americans are good people and worthy of our friendship. They will eventually figure this mess out. Booing someone's anthem might be overkill. Don't stand up, leave your hat on, or something but remember we WILL be friends again someday. I hope.

  7. It's a drop of support in the ocean but me and my family from New Zealand will be vacationing in Canada this year ♥ We won't be going to The U.S

  8. Oh no, they are booing. Oh no, maple syrup will cost so much more. Whatever will the greatest superpower in the world ever do??? 😉

  9. "Its Trump not the American People ™️." Except it is. An enormous number of people chose this version of America and ineffectual Democratic noises now about "always having liked Canadians" is a waste of our time. You all have to wear the fact that Donald Trump is President, not just the people who voted for him. How wasteful you have been of your opportunity and privilege as Americans. Shame on you all. Take your thoughts and prayers and save them for youselves.

  10. So instead of agreeing to help button up the border, Trudeau takes the tariffs .
    Shouldn't you be booing Justin?
    Thought he resigned last week.

    Booing the American national anthem is just the easy way for us to make our point. When the accumulation of Canadians boycott American products hits full steam, America will find itself as isolated as never before AND POORER. America has always acted as the arrogant, hubristic and obnoxious superiors to Canadians. The truth is we have more humility, compassion and empathy than any American has in their hangnails. But when we and our values are insulted by a vile, serial liar, sexual predator, convicted felon for fraud, and incompetent and intellectually bankrupt sorry excuse of a human being, we will not be bullied.

  12. Canada should pull the ultimate reversal move
    Acquire states like oregon,washington,new england area,cali and integrate them
    Don't stop there also acquire puerto rico,guam and go far as the philippines and make them canadian territories 😊

  13. So they are okay that drugs come into the U.S. from across their border and kills U.S. citizens. They are also okay with the human trafficking across the border. Next thing you know they will be taking a knee. Very disrespectful. U.S. teams should stop playing on Canadian soil until black face Justin Trudeau does something about the border. Then they can boo themselves. I bet if they were attacked by an adversary they would be begging Trump and the U.S. for help.

  14. As a Dane, is Canada interested in buying Greenland for 1 Canadian dollar? We would give to you for free, but charging 1 Canadian dollar is designed just to annoy Trump. All the waterway between Greenland and Canada would become Canadian and you could charge ships for transit – further annoying Trump.
