Canadian fans continued a growing trend of booing the American national anthem at sporting events, this time during a Toronto Raptors game. The boos followed similar reactions at NHL games in Ottawa and Calgary, coinciding with the implementation of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian imports.
Fans at a Toronto Raptors game continued an emerging trend Sunday of booing the American national anthem at pro sporting events in Canada . This came after similar reactions broke out Saturday night at NHL games in Ottawa, Ontario, and Calgary, Alberta; hours after U.S. President Donald Trump made his threat of import tariffs on America's northern neighbor a reality. \At the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, fans initially cheered for the 15-year-old female singer who performed.
However, they booed throughout the performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” At the end, mixed boos and cheers could be heard before the crowd erupted in applause for the Canadian anthem, “O Canada.” \Trump declared an economic emergency in order to place taxes of 25% on imports from Canada and Mexico and 10% on imports from China. Energy imported from Canada, including oil, natural gas and electricity, would be taxed at a 10% rate. U.S. national anthem boos in Canada are rare, but not unheard of, especially when tied to world events. In the early 2000s, fans at games in Canada booed to show their disapproval of the U.S.-led war against Iraq
