Uh yea. To piss off the French is one thing. To piss off the French who’ve been trying to leave Canada for a while, and bring them right back to doing this…on our flag day of all days…
You guys got choices to make now.
I know it can be difficult to separate the people from their government. Musk has his tentacles in the Canadian election. Don't let him control the outcome.
Yes. Musk is trying to influence elections in Germany and he has Canadian citizenship, so he will try to get Conservatives elected. He tearing our government apart! Dont let him influence you Canada!
I grew up in Buffalo, attending Sabres games where nearly half the fans were from Ontario, having come across the Peace Bridge. Everyone sang both anthems.
Trump is an idiot. For the rest of us, Canada,
“… glorious and free … we stand on guard for thee”
Canadians have good reason to feel betrayed, angry. Canada has been nothing but a good neighbor, loyal friend, steadfast ally.
I love my country with all my heart. I have no love for Trump voters & my fellow Americans who didn’t voted because, “Hey, we survived Trump the 1st time. We’ll be fine.”
we showed we cannot be trusted...too many Cletis's in this country who elected him AGAIN...even after all the bullshit we suffered the first time...I live in northeast OH on the lake Erie shoreline...I look at Canada longingly every day...
Unprecedented times = unprecedented acts. Adherence to norms wasn't exactly a winning strategy for Dems these last 10 years. Our sovereignty & economy are under attack & if booing an internationally televised game draws attention to the issue and rallies 🇨🇦s together against a common threat bring it!
Same. I want a more than two political parties (that actually exist) and a parliament system. We really were always set up to one day have a takeover by one man. Just most had the honor not to do it this brazen.
Thanks a bunch Mr Trump for ruining our relationships with ALL of our neighboring countries and allies. Ya know? The minute that snake ceases to exist, it’s going to be a day of celebration. We will make it a National Holiday. 😁💙
I know. One wonders how this happened. It’s similar to wondering how the Tory party was ever elected & why people thought Brexit was going to make the UK prosperous.
They're preparing for war. They think they will be the next Ukraine.
This isn't a joke as it has been laughed off in the US. They are appalled that we are ignoring Trump's saber rattling, because they are NOT.
I think Elon hacked the election. It makes no sense that the swing states down ballot elected officials were largely democrats and the Presidential choice was Trump.
Only 22% of country’s inhabitants voted for Trump. But, yeah, also notable that only 49% of the 62% of eligible voters who voted did so for Trump. Hardly a mandate, no matter what number you choose to use.
Apologies to the rest of the world on behalf of the sane Americans that are trapped in this hellscape coup of insecure men & their delusions of grandeur.
And deservedly so, I'm afraid. And now we have to face it even when we're not a part of it because it all reflects on us all, which is gross & maddening but we live with the repercussions of the insane choices of barely half those who chose to vote & those who sat out or voted 3rd party. Rrrg!😡
Canadians have always sung their National Anthem better than Americans….but this was something else! And 3 fights in the first 9 seconds! Too bad we lost the bloody game 🇨🇦🏒🇨🇦🏒🇨🇦🏒🇨🇦
IN 1972 Team Canada was blown out by the USSR in Game 1 of the Summit Series (7-2 I think; 10 year old me was devastated), and came back to win it all.
Right now the US deserves to be spit on. As an American, were I in that audience I would boo the US national anthem too. I never liked it anyway but it’s all a lie here now.
I’m a New York Rangers hockey fan. Canadiens were always so respectful of our anthem, especially because we were visitors. I was always impressed and cried watching them sing their national anthem like that. It’s nothing new. What’s new is our betrayal to them 😭
While most of us here accept and appreciate your apologies, would you do us all a solid and take back your country please. Oh and don’t forget to take out the trash too.
We thought we were when we voted. Hard to win with the richest (and most evil) man is buying the election. We are scared and embarrassed and humiliated.
We know! And feel sooo sorry for you all, including those who voted for these 2 presidents ´´T & M’´and did so by trusting these constant liars, especially T
Frankly, a vast number of Americans despise this US administration. So yeah - minimally WE are not fans either. And more to the point, we want them all arrested, tried, and at least jailed as traitors.
Until Americans will wake up from their apathy and will realize they already have the collective power to stop Trump, Musk and the cabal of criminals running the country, they deserve this treatment. The institutions will not save you. You can.
We shouldn't gloat just because Republicans or centrist dems can't govern we NEED to understand America needs good standing in body & mind with the rest of the world for trade. 🤷♂️ nobody on earth can do everything by themselves.
At the 15 second mark, Prime Minister Trudeau in the midst of the crowd, not in some sky box. I'll bet he didn't sneak out at the end of the second period.
As Mark Carney (hopefully next Prime Minister) said, Canadians have few options to voice their displeasure and anger as a whole and as long as our sovereignty is threatened “have at it”. When it stops we will go back to being polite.
I’m sure that Putin encouraged Trump’s tariffs and 51st state talk as punishment for Canada’s support to Ukraine and also to normalize his own land grabs
I hope my fellow Canadians now wake up and realize that every single vote for Pierre Polliviere and the Conservative Party will be a betrayal of Canada…
PP literally been busted tampering with elections and got off easy with just a Compliance Agreement with Elections Canada; highly suspected to be the "Pierre Poutine" involved with the robocalls scandal; used Modi operatives to win party leadership race.
Disinformation has been spun so wildly, especially to mostly English speaking countries. From Ireland to Canada, infected minds rise to help the wrong side of everything. 😮💨
I don't know and can't make out a single word of the Canadian national anthem but I'd gladly learn it if they'd take Minnesota into their lovely country.
That's because you mostly heard the French lyrics. The song and lyrics were written first in French in the 19th century by Calixa Lavallée, then poached and translated by English-Canadians nearly a century later.
Yeah, the French version is (very typically) more religion-oriented; as a fluently bilingual Quebecois Canadian (born and raised RC, now atheist) I much prefer the English words.
I have considered the idea of trying to learn french for the sake of moving to either France or Canada to operate a nuclear reactor for a country that has or is at least willing to invest in their energy security.
This is about three weeks and it’s in Canada no less. Think about what four years of Seig Heil MAGA fascists assholery could do to America. I despise the deplorable lumpenproletariat cult who put these SOBs back in.
You can feel better now. See the crown on his sleeve? He's from the Royal Air Canadian Air Force Band. And must have been absolutely thrilled by the boos. 😊
That's so funny! I was thinking the way he was smiling he stands with Canada, but I thought he would have been from here. No wonder he looks so joyful!
The world needs to stand against the President, musk, and supporting GOP.
There are millions of us that are doing our best to stop this historic nightmare.
Unfortunately, neither brave nor free, bought, paid for by oligarchs. When was the last time you really felt this pride in our nation? Our neighbors are what we could emulate. But you can't vote against people.
Proud to be Canadian. Way to stand together, 🇨🇦 . We are Canadian first, no matter what province we live in, the exception of course, our Conservative Premiers who are riding with the corrupt Trump/billionaire team of traitors, liars, thieves. They work together & against their own countries. Sick.
We’re trying but like America, we have many who don’t bother to vote & just like your Con Party, our Cons turned into greedy traitors to our country, spewing propaganda & fear. Funded by same billionaires, same hate playbook, same corruption… Fight of our lives but too many still don’t get it. 💕
Agreed. We can’t vote in Conservatives. They kissed Trumps antiwoke ring years ago, it’s why they parrot such racist, misogynistic, homophobic and of course transphobic rhetoric.
You forgot to mention that it was a pro Palestinian march, which given the generational guilt is hardly surprising. What ever my personal views on the genocide in Gaza, I can understand how the Jewish people are viewed as perpetual victims in Germany.
Sane Americans are with you and we are booing these Nazi terrorist fucks too. Keep up the booing. Boycott our goods. These cultists need to feel pain to hope for any change. We are too ignorant and shit must change.
The world shouldn’t trust the US until we prove that we’re stable & not fascists. My dad was a WWII vet & my uncle was in an Army unit that liberated a German concentration camp. We were & are supposed to be the good guys (according to my upbringing). I would boo too - plus the anthem is racist AF.
I thank your family for their service. My grandfathers were also in WW2. They never talked about it and I am glad they are not around to see what has happened to an ally. We are living in the worst timeline.
My uncle wouldn’t talk about the concentration camp in any detail. I think he only wanted to provide witness to the atrocities. Seeing photos from the era is upsetting; seeing those ill and traumatized people must have been haunting.
Thank you. I hope you know it's not personal (well...for MAGAs it is obviously). I hope your country can figure out how to right itself before it's too late.
I take it personal against them too. We will right this before it’s too late. We refuse to let our democracy die. Just know, if they tried to annex you, half of America would stand with you.
“If Canada and the U.S. make the Four Nations final, Trump should bigly come watch. It would be the most tremendous, record-breaking booing in history—many people are saying it. Very unfair to him. So sad! #OhCanada #YugeBoos”
If, as expected, they play again in Boston, US fans better be smart enough not to return the favor. We're not in the right here. Play on the ice is all that matters
We DO!!!! Trump musk and their minions are the ones we Canadians dislike to the greatest level. Americans, Keep Your revolution for freedom against these dictators - fascists.
You are absolutely right! I worked my butt off for Harris and would do it all over again. Now the ones who decided to believe the non sense and so much gathered toward Harris are experiencing their vote or lack there of.
And we love our American neighbors.We will always come to their aid.The WH is a difficulty for all the world right now.Our American friends are smack in the middle.God bless them and God save America.
Canada should absolutely announce a program to offer asylum and citizenship to fired American scientists, doctors, and engineers. This is the biggest chance for a country to buy talent since the German rocket engineers started our space program after WW2.
It's ironic, as our previous conservative prime minister did similar things to Canada. Tried to get rid of the science and the research by firing scientists and hitting programs. Most of the fired went to the States.
In addition, Avis Favaro who is a health reporter in Canada, created a tidy list of the provincial and territorial websites where you can find job openings in heath care.
It isn’t Canada that has been radicalized. Your current government and its supporters have been radicalized and we are just expressing our distaste for the fact that your electorate allowed it to happen. Hating fascism isn’t a radical position.
Imagine going to Canada as a US hockey fan with a US flag. You deserve to get boo'd and more. You must be the magats that couldn't afford eggs but can travel to a hockey game out of the country. 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦. US us fucked. Go Canada!
There is a website for an organized general strike. Please sign a strike card and share like crazy. If we can get 3.5% of the population (11M people) WE STRIKE!!! And everything shuts down until we say so. Please read more about it and educate others, we MUST DO SOMETHING NOW 😭 https://generalstrikeus.com/
Only half of you! We acknowledge the tremendous support from our Southern Neighbors. The outpouring online has been incredible. Reading this comment section gave me some hope that things can get better one day.
Absolutely I was in Paris for the Olympics and had people from all over the world saying what’s wrong with you guys. My answer we ask the same questions as well! The felon said I am love all over the world umm not so much in his first term and definitely not now
Then do something! Take responsibility for the choices and actions of the people representing you and hold them accountable. Isn’t that what the Declaration and the Constitution say?
I'm sorry. The US needs to be booed. They are a fascist country that is very happy to align itself with Russia ,abandon the rest of the world , and destroy its own people. The US is a real threat to Canada And we must be prepared- in any way we need to -to sacrifice to save our country
I went back to school to finish a 2nd degree in 2000. 20 years after the 1st at age 40 among 18-20 year olds. Professor put a pic of the US flag on the overhead & walked out of the room. I was the only one in a room of 100 to stand, hand on heart & sing the anthem.
If the purpose is to point things out which are useful in highlighting the lack of support, then saying US players aren’t singing is less useful in supporting that point bc the Canadian players also aren’t singing so that negates the points.
And in the midst is our PM.
It didn’t cost millions for him to attend.
There was no fanfare and he wasn’t looking for attention.
Nor did he bail early.
that's fair. How about we were "known" as the home of democracy? or we liked the idea of democracy like we liked the idea of losing 20 pounds after New Year's Eve. You know something we liked but never really got around to.
I remember Canadians helping Americans escape from Iran in 1979, welcoming stranded travelers when US airspace was closed after 9/11. I am forever grateful.
Canada has been nothing but a good neighbor, caring friend, steadfast ally. Thank you.
Is it wrong I hope Canada kicks our ass, especially in the fights? You don’t get to choose which countries team you play on, but you choose to throw down your gloves- so I hope Canada makes MAGA eat ice all night long.
Here’s the thing…If the tables were turned and the United States was being threatened by Russia (a nuclear power) that they, Russia, were going to just take over their country for no reason, how do you think the Americans would react? I’m going to guess they wouldn’t just boo.
Vive la CANADA! 🇨🇦
Thos also when people need a reminder that it was PP and Harper that lowered Nato spending to less than 1%. The liberals have just about doubled it. PP has said that he will only increase it if he feels we can afford to spend more.
True that! I really look forward to seeing election attack ads tying the Conservatives past decisions to where we are now with our military and border security. I’d rather pay more in taxes for the security of my country!
Ya as a Canadian I’m not proud of the booing. Politics should not be brought into the game. They’re athletes and they’re all going through tough times. Then the fights to start the game were ridiculous.
The evolution of the Republicons:
First we were Republicons, then we weren't.
Then we became MAGA, because of trump, then we weren't.
Finally trump, found what they needed, they are now Nazis!
It is heartbreaking. I grew up in Michigan. My favorite vacations were in Canada. It made me sad when Bush decided Canadians had to have passport to get in the states. Now tRump and his insane nonsense is ending 100s of years friendship. I love and support my Canadian friends. 🇨🇦
There will come a time when things are back to normal, although I am proud of many of my fellow Canadians both those we've lost and those with us now there are many born in the US who I admire and admired. People of good faith can overcome any obstacles.
Thank you for your faith and understanding. My father's parents were Canadian. My Grandfather was a CMP. My uncle had a picture of him in his uniform. My father was born after they moved to Michigan or I would riding the dual citizenship train outta here.
This makes me sad!! Those poor US hockey players having to be humiliated by our usually polite & kind neighbor because of their deadbeat Dad and his rowdy drunk pals shitting all over the neighbor’s yard.
It’s the symbolic rejection of the CURRENT despot. Learn to separate the difference. You can’t suck and blow at the same time. If a major terror event happened in the US or a major event like forest fires, Canada will be there. What won’t be supported is an asshole who thinks he can annex Canada.
My post was NEVER a criticism of Canada’s response. I certainly understand why they booed. Innocent American citizens worldwide will feel the effects of this fascist regime. Until WE do something about the Hell we have allowed to happen. https://www.yahoo.com/news/hitler-dismantled-democracy-53-days-133000255.html
Canadian response ? No, wrong focus. Look at Drumpf. It’s his provocation. Do something bold. France had the French resistance. Seems to me Americans are rolling over to allow Drumpf, p2025ers, and musk to be the the absolute rulers. Do something below the 49th parallel. SM isn’t the answer
I’m well aware. Not sure why you think my post was about Canada. I hope they show their disdain every day. It will help our fence-sitters. I am only a force of 1, but others are aware also.
Red states hate blue states - despite being dependent on their generosity and largess. I hereby propose that all freedom loving states secede from this corrupt abusive union and join our northern neighbor in the Free America Federation Organization. FAFO
I’ve been telling my friends for two decades the US is a lost nation.
What is American culture?
Beer drinking, flag waving, hate on anyone different,
church loving hypocrites.
I stopped and looked at a grocery store how Americans dress and act out in public. We are slobs.
Well done Canada 🇨🇦👏👏👏 sent shivers through me❤️ Most Americans understand and the World is with you fighting and amplifying in anyway we can the danger and evil trump poses to America and the World ❤️🇦🇺🦘
Can't say I blame them. The occupant of our White House and his minions have disparaged & threatened Canada in ways that bring us shame. Vive le Canada. I can't wait to be proud of my country again....I guess I'll just have to be patient.
Americans: YOU voted him and his minions in. Please take responsibility. If you didn't vote, you are equally responsible.
~ signed pissed off Canandians
Can't blame US!?
NO we BLAME YOU!
YOU are Responsible that he is where he is.
Shame on YOU.
#cdnpoli #uspoli
I didn't ...I voted for Harris/ Walz...if I had been the one responsible for the vote we'd be seeing something far different..I also read all of Project 2025 & got kicked off two social networks sharing that information. I did what I could..now I'll root for Canada & Mexico..Greenland & Panama
I think you don't quite realize how pissed off a lot of America is, too.There are 161+ Million people here..a lot of people who didn't vote..a lot who believed his lies..& a lot of us who voted for hope & joy.
I'm not sure how we fix this...but tell me how to get 161 million people on the same page
How did he get voted in? Will Americans just blindly allow their country to fall under his dictatorship? Will Americans shut their eyes, ears, beliefs, and think after 4 years then it will be ok? How much destruction will YOU tolerate? I don't live in your country. I am just looking in to it.
I am just as pissed off as you are. I understand your anger because I have been feeling it for a long time. You have every right to feel this way - clearly we haven't done enough here in America. We need to do better. We MUST do better.
That's really not fair because most people on Blue Sky are here as refugees from Twitter and other Trump aligned platforms so in fact most of these people didn't vote for Trump.
I get it ..you hate & blame all of us. I'm gutted about it, too. Didn't think the end of my life would be under a dictator & bully. I do what I can & join with others to make a bigger statement. Until then I'm buying Canadian, from blue states, & from Blue corporations...& Calling Washington daily
I marched in the 60s for equal rights & women's rights. At this time in my life I can only boycott...call & harass my congresspeople...donate where it will do the most good...& Send emails....a bit too old to do much else.
I thank you for marching in those tough years for equal and woman’s rights. It must feel so devastating to see those rights so toughly earned and just like that, are now being threatened ..I’m Canadian and wasn’t born at that time, but .. really, thank you for that ❤️
I ate nearly a whole box of Canadian Dare cookies this weekend. Doing my small part. 😂 It is so encouraging to see and hear Canadians stand up to the Trump/Musk regime. We need to see more if that spirit here in the US.
America's international reputation is now in the toilet. Foreign powers are aligning themselves against us (and rightfully so).
We have pissed off Canada...CANADA!
🤦 JFC!
I had an American visitor here in Montreal this week, he went to the USA-Fin game on Thursday at the Bell Center, and was all surprised that the crowd was mostly rooting for Finland 🤷🏻♂️
He told his seating neighbour « we’re the bad guys here? », who answered, you are now…

It’s justified.
Thank you Canada.
You brought a tear of humility & grace to this American.
The idea that his followers think America is somehow more respected now than it was a few months ago is certifiably insane.
I’ve never heard, or even heard of, the National Anthem being booed before in my lifetime.
This isn't a joke as it has been laughed off in the US. They are appalled that we are ignoring Trump's saber rattling, because they are NOT.
We are not staying silent anymore.
Hope you crush it Canada. 🇨🇦
It sparks joy 🤩.
We still have time.
Ours is fit only for professionals, and not all of them can.
The US is a disgusting example of an ally.
I’m horrified and embarrassed.
Exxon, Disney, Citibank, Starbucks, Monsanto, etc. etc. - they all want our money and when we collectively tighten our belts - they get upset.
They want us too tired to fight, but not tired enough to confidently consume.
That’s our only tool.
Vote accordingly
Michelle Kwan looked a bit surprised when she started getting boos. I don't think that's ever happened to her before.
There are millions of us that are doing our best to stop this historic nightmare.
Maga-nazism is the new pandemic. ❤️🇨🇦
75m voted for Harris. You guys in America have some serious soul searching to do.
Montreal is my favorite city.
