I know it’s petty and doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things but I am so excited for Canucks fans to boo the US anthem at the game tonight lol

I can’t blame you. I’m an American and I’m tempted to boo. Deepest apologies, Canada. We’re in a helluva mess here in the US and there’s no (legal) quick way out. ☹️🤬
I served my amazing country for 37 years, I was TOTALLY against booing another country's national anthem, for ANY reason! Until Russia invaded Ukraine. Now, I couldn't boo the US anthem loud enough!!
Oh, and GO 'Nucks!
I am an American and 60 years old - I dong blame you. I love all of you except the maggots in your own country. I am sorry and incredible hopping mad and filled with sorrow over this. I lived 6 miles from BC as a kid
Thank you, we'll get through it. I truly only have a problem with the MAGAts that voted for the Idiot. I have many friends in the US and have visited every corner of your beautiful country. Take care!
Which US hockey arena will be the first to openly jeer the US national anthem? My money's on the Tampa snowbirds to turn to boo birds. Does polymarket have a line on this yet?
I’m pretty sure he was already invited and denied the request. Trudeau went to meet with him in Florida and then Trump lied about the conversation. So it’s all meaningless anyway.
As an American who is unable to listen to anything remotely patriotic, I applauded your booing and encourage you to do more.
For example, would you consider lobbying to take Minnesota as a new province. Most are well behaved, and red voters will shape up quickly when they see how great Canada is.
I really see this as being effective. Racist MAGAts reveled in attacking a black man for taking a knee during the anthem but I suspect they might just have a wee bit of shame hearing Canada booing their flag.
That 4 game suspension was such BS and the continued hate only proves that they might be “tuned in” but pretty blinded by their own bias. They boo for the softest non-call penalties too.
Donald Trump has officially declared through an executive order that everyone on Earth is transgender. He signed an executive order stating that sex is determined at conception. HOWEVER, every person on Earth develops sex at about one month AFTER conception. We ALL change gender at one month.
American who hate DJT are happy to see our Canadian friends fight back. If America becomes a pariah state, so be it. The rest of the world needs to fight Trump, Musk, and Trumpism. Americans who still believe in Democracy will keep fighting from within!!
Not so petty; it’s simply where we are. When our closest and most reliable ally is furious at us, it’s a black eye for Leon & Turnip in front of the world community.
I have mixed feelings. Supporting the booing is a bad look for progressives. Also, it's not the US but rather trump's cabal doing this. The criminal in the White House. He doesn't represent the whole country. I don't blame the Canadians, but i don't think we need to celebrate their anger.
As President and Commander in Chief he does represent the Unites States of America and by extension its citizens. It's bloody awful, but it's the truth. People can't pretend otherwise anymore. You hate it, we hate it, but that's real.
Keep doing it. I’m planning to walk down to the concourse and ignore it like I already do at Browns games when they play “God Bless the USA” between the 1st and 2nd quarters.
I’d rather they play “YMCA” instead of “Star Spangled Banner”. The Trump administration is like a bad TV comedy that broke the 4th wall and escaped into real life.
Maybe it does matter! Some of the US fans are in an information bubble. They'll be mystified and then maybe (sigh, only maybe) get curious about why Canadians are pissed.
It’s not petty. They should just play the Canadian Anthem and if the US team doesn’t like it, they can go home. I am all for only one anthem in the country in which a game is played. We can’t respect the US anthem anyhow due to Felon47 so playing it is just wrong.
Never, in my life as an American (with all its culture of braggadocio patriotism), did I think I’d understand this concept. I don’t even think I knew that we were just brainwashed; I think I thought we were, genuinely, the greatest nation ever.
I'd kind of like ppl at the Super Bowl to boo the anthem. But since it's mostly big corporate guests and MAGAts, doubt they will. I used to be a big Chiefs fan. Right now, I'm considering #BoycottSuperBowl.
We DO NOT CLAIM HIM, he has yet again lied and cheated his way into the white house 😭 please dont hate us all. This man is the devil in the flesh. We tried to keep him out but our country is corrupted to the core 😭😭
Their national anthem was written because of The War of 1812. A war the Americans started. With the current threat to our country, there is an additional reason to boo it.
Most of the Canucks are American. I wish people in Vancouver cared about this. Last SCP they dressed ONE Canadian skater. ONE. 15 Americans. That can't be accidental.
Far more effective to just sit down and shut up during the US anthem imo. Trumpty Dumpty is craving the chance for a reaction sound bite - don’t give it to him.
Drive him insane for 2 minutes when you know he’s frothing at the mouth for control of the daily media cycle and do something substantial like tariff Teslas 100%
I'm glad my fellow Canadians are passionate about this, but would rather everyone turn their backs during the anthem. Then after the anthem is over, a nice long chant of "f*CK Trump" for the real target of Canadian anger.
Make your voice heard in any way you can. Boycott American goods, leave them rotting on the shelves. Make it hurt them. Only then will they start having a go at their shit-show of a president
I am appalled at the attacks against #Canada our closest ally.
Whatever Canada does to retaliate is totally understandable.
I am one of the many sane people who did not vote for Dump!
Around 20 years ago I put a curse on all Canadian hockey teams that they would never win a Stanley Cup until Canadians learn how to tip when visiting the US...
I hear by resend that curse and kinda hope it is an all Canadian finals this year 😔
Anyone here watch Shoresy? Season 2 Episode 6 playing in Soo Michigan and a 9 year old learning to play recorder performs the Canadian National Anthem…. May be a good model to try!
I bet at least half of the Americans will join heir Canadian fans in booing their own anthem. They are booing the administration, they are booing trump and they are booing other freedom. Let it happen!
There was a time not long ago when the mic went out when the singer in Toronto was singing your national anthem at a Leafs game. The fans burst into song and finished it for her. We are nice people but man we are pissed right now. Trump has crossed the line.
As a fellow American: no actually go ahead boo the anthem so more people like this who fail to realize uncritical exceptionalist jingoism is a key component of the current situation reveal themselves.
Oh grow up! I am not against freedom of speech. I fought for Title 9, the ERA and protested Vietnam, Desert Storm and Afghanistan. There are a lot of things wrong with the USA but booing an anthem during a sporting event is not my idea of something good to do.
Chicagoans yell, throw things, start fights, and tell people to go back where they came from during the national anthem. That song has already been disgraced for me as an American.
It will be happening in USA too, once people dummy up and realize our president is trying to turn its own people against each other so we can’t fight back as a united front against his regime.

Turns out it happened 12/12/24, so fairly recently.
I didn't check the date before posting.
For example, would you consider lobbying to take Minnesota as a new province. Most are well behaved, and red voters will shape up quickly when they see how great Canada is.

Keep us fighting and booing each other and we play into the hands of #fascists and #oligarchs.

Canada deserved a better friend.
I don't blame them- but it breaks my heart.

There were times when Canadian crowds would loudly sing the US anthem at a hockey game if the anthem singer forget the words or the microphone failed.
Those times seem to have passed.
Please - boo loud. I’m sorry.
Whatever Canada does to retaliate is totally understandable.

And since you didn’t have the balls to get rid of him the rest of the world will.
