Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taunted Donald Trump after Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime in the 4 Nations ice hockey competition in Boston.

Trudeau’s viral post, “You can’t take our country – and you can’t take our game,” came amid ongoing tensions between the leaders.

Trump, who previously mocked Trudeau as “Governor Trudeau” and floated annexing Canada, had earlier imposed tariffs on Canadian produce.

Amid boos of the American anthem and a surge in Canadian nationalism, the rivalry highlights both political and sporting divisions between the nations.

      and making a coordinated attempt to close land trade thru America…

      What kind of logic are people using where that sounds like a snap decision with immediate results?

      I genuinely am curious because apparently multiple people are coming to the same wrong conclusion.

      Like if a 12 year old says they want to become a doctor, are you back the next day asking what the hold up is?

      Is planning ahead just that foreign of a concept these days?
