Canadian hockey and basketball fans booed the US national anthem after President Donald Trump announced 25% tariffs on Canadian imports. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged Canadians to support local businesses, while provinces like Ontario pulled American alcohol from shelves. Canada retaliated with C$155B in tariffs on US goods, targeting Republican-led states. Trump insisted tariffs would remain until fentanyl and migration issues were addressed, even suggesting Canada should become the 51st US state. Economists warn Canada may face recession if tariffs persist. "We prefer diplomacy but are ready to fight," Trudeau declared.
