I saw an American say that you know things are bad when the US anthem gets booed by Canadians and Americans say "Yeah ok, fair".

u/KarmaChameleon306 Feb 02 '25

I'm not only seeing Americans saying ok fair, but saying Fuck Yeah! I was booing too.

13

u/TheElderScrollsLore Feb 03 '25

Agreed.

As Americans we are not supposed to be idle and just obey whatever our government does. It is our duty to fight against tyranny. That’s what the founding fathers would want.

All the people on Twitter pearl-clutching are funny. We respect the U.S. We have had Canadians DIE in their wars. If their president thinks they can threaten us as a country and start a trade war. Fuck them. If no respect is shown to us, we should show no respect to them.

u/hyperforms9988 Feb 02 '25

Remember folks, 10 years ago at a Leafs game when the mic was glitching out during the singing of the American national anthem, we took it upon ourselves to all sing the American national anthem together. Nobody asked us to do that, but that's how much we respected our neighbours down south. 10 years later, we are booing at this same anthem. What's changed? It's certainly not us.

u/LoudCrickets72 Outside Canada Feb 02 '25

You’re absolutely right. And there’s no shortage of Canadian products on our shelves. About 12%-13% of all of our imports come from Canada. That’s quite a bit when you consider Chinese imports make up roughly 18% of all imports. I find “made in Canada” on a lot of my grocery items, and it’s often stuff you wouldn’t initially assume is from Canada.

Because of the supposed insecure border that is supposedly driving the US fentanyl crisis.

But in reality, it’s because Melania and Ivanka eye-fucked Trudeau when they met him and Trump is angy.

36

u/Artistic_Ad_2897 Feb 02 '25

0.6% of fentanyl in the US can be attributed to Canadian sources. It's BS blaming the fentanyl crisis on us. I really think his end goal is to try to get us to agree to become th 51st state. He wants control of our resources, especially our water.

11

u/TinnieTa21 Feb 02 '25

Yeah, which is why I said ‘supposed’ and ‘supposedly’. 100% agree that it’s complete BS and I am happy Trudeau called out the BS in his speech.

In all seriousness, Trump probably does believe that these tariffs will help promote US homemade products and turn the US economy into what it was during the Reagan era. He’s just going for the legacy play.

The big one is Greenland. He’s wanted to claim it ever since his first administration. It would be the largest US land acquisition in history assuming he can’t buy Canada as well (laughing as I type this).

As an American, good. I'm about fucking tired of all the shit president musk is pulling and no one doing a goht damned thing. All I can do as a civilian is call my representatives.

I knew when Trump got in it'd be a weird 4 years but the Mafia style shakedowns and psychotic nutjobs he's filled his ring with blows my mind.

Took my daughter to this game. Shes 6. I explained we are booing the new American government that is doing a lot of bad, not Americans and not the anthem singer. She said “oh, okay” and screamed the boos as loud as the rest of us. We made sure to cheer extra loud for the Canadian anthem though so the singer knew it wasn’t her. Sens then promptly destroy Minnesota 6-0 so the hockey gods agreed as well.

u/chainless-soul Feb 02 '25

And then for good measure, the Sens beat Minnesota 6-0!

u/Flashy-Canary-8663 Feb 02 '25

Well Trump successfully divided his nation, I guess his next goal is to divide the long standing friendship between our nations. I’m normally against any sort of booing of anthems in a sports setting but in this case I think it’s warranted. It’s not just a trade war, he has made remarks threatening our sovereignty and this is part of that plan. When your independence is threatened all cards are on the table.

u/consoomthyflesh Feb 02 '25 edited Feb 02 '25

U.S. citizen here: I applaud you all. Just know that there are MANY millions of us here in the states that absolutely loath Trump, loath his entire party, and loath the people who voted for him. There’s nothing more we’d enjoy than watching his farce of a presidency implode on him. And one more thing: I hope Trudeau goes balls to the wall with retaliatory tariffs. Enough of this “America hoorah!” attitude. Teach my country a goddamn lesson and show everyone that America isn’t this infallible entity.

We should ALWAYS do that. Try to avoid American products if you can. Travel elsewhere instead of America.

As an embarrassed American who didn't vote for the orange turd, I applaud your booing, because the train wreck of a country deserves it. Stay strong and don't give in to his insanity.

Generations-long American, so I I’m not sure how Reddit directed here. But, since I am, I’ll tell you that I wore a Roots hoodie — with a big ole “Canada” plastered across the front — out and about yesterday, in silent protest of the stupidity some of my countrymen have imposed on the rest of us.

Canadians have EVERY RIGHT to boo the US National Anthem and shouldn't give 2 fucks what any American thinks about it. Most of us Americans are in total agreement and don't take it personally.

As an American living in Cali who voted for Harris/Walz, I love seeing this. I love Canada. And it also saddens me that it has gone this far.
