Canadian Sports Fans Intensify Booing of U.S. National Anthem Amid Trade Tensions

Canadian sports fans have taken to booing the U.S. national anthem at various NBA and NHL games, reflecting rising patriotism and growing discontent surrounding U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. This trend was notably observed at recent Toronto Raptors and Vancouver Canucks games, where fans expressed their sentiments by jeering the anthem, signaling a backlash against American policies.
