Pick a lane, dicknuts.
Are you really so stupid that you think not liking somebody and "whining about him" are the same thing?

Yeah, I guess you are.

Let's see if I can get through. I don't like Trump. I consider him a blowhard, an attention-seeking child, and a braggart.

Which. . . ready for this?. . . does not change the fact that I approve, more or less, with several things he has tried to do as President.

I don't know. Maybe in Canada you have to like somebody to approve of what he's doing. Not down hereabouts.

I don't like PP.

But I can give credit where it's due on ideas that I can go with that he's had.

Doesn't mean I'd vote for him, doesn't mean I like him.

Canadians won’t stop booing U.S. anthem if tariffs stay: Survey

Published Feb 18, 2025 • Last updated 10 hours ago • 1 minute read

If you are tired of the American anthem getting booed during sporting events, blame U.S. President Donald Trump, according to results from a new survey.


The survey of 2,000 Canadian sports fans was conducted by Casino.org to better understand the motivations behind those booing and how different fan bases feel about the action in response to Trump’s tariff threats.

Sports fans are divided, with 53% of respondents strongly support booing, 24% strongly oppose it and 23% are indifferent.

That said, 75% believe the form of protest is warranted.

However, while half of respondents said they see booing the American anthem as a valid political statement, 26% called it disrespectful, and 13% think it’s harmless in sports culture.

Three-quarters (76%) of Canadians admitted they feel more proud to be Canadian because of the booing, and nearly one-third (31%) of respondents revealed they would boo U.S. teams at every opportunity possible.


More than half (57%) said they will continue booing as long as Trump’s tariffs remain in place.

In fact, 54% of those surveyed said they are more interested in attending Canada vs U.S. games due to the booing.


A whopping 91% of respondents said the top reason they are booing is in protest of U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, while 77% are bringing on boos because they don’t like Canada being referred to as the 51st state.

Another 66% confessed that they are booing U.S. teams simply due to disliking Trump.

The survey found that Calgary Flames and Ottawa Senators fans are most in favour of booing the Star Spangled Banner, while Toronto Raptors fans are the least likely to boo.

As for the impact on Canada-U.S. relations, 67% admitted that the booing is only a temporary reaction, while 15% believe anthem-booing will worsen tensions between the two countries.

There is a growing problem with Narcissistic Personality Disorder that leads to no good. Blow out your candle and mine burns brighter kind of stuff.

The enemy could have hardly done better if it came from a Virology Lab in China and reported to be found in nearly 6% of all people. Very counter productive imo. Apply it to Trump if you like.

Probably does. Does that make everything he does bad?

Always best to take an average but subterfuge is not an attractive quality imo. Ignorance is bliss, reality is cruel.
TDS and TWS(Trump Worship Syndrome) are both tough to swallow. Its best to just gnaw on both to let them know there is a reality to retreat to.
