Canadian prime minister needles Trump after Canada beats USA

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took a victory lap on social media after Canada defeated the USA in the final of the 4 Nations Face-Off hockey tournament.

Trudeau took to X, formerly Twitter, shortly after three-time NHL MVP Connor McDavid gave Canada a 3-2 overtime victory in Boston.

‘You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game,’ Trudeau wrote.

The message was short but powerful — and unmistakably pointed at President Donald Trump.

Trump has floated the idea of annexing Canada and said in his Super Bowl interview he thinks ‘Canada would be much better off being the 51st state.’ The comments, combined with an ongoing tariff battle, has led to ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ being booed in Canada.

That gained particular attention during the 4 Nations Face-Off game between the countries in Montreal with some U.S. fans returning the favor during the Canadian anthem Thursday night in Boston.

‘O Canada’ did not appear to be booed a second time as the Canadians celebrated their victory.

Trump was not in attendance for Thursday’s game, but he did call the team in the locker room after the morning’s practice.
