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.

      Yeah you do that politically

      If the PM saying publically “You can’t take our country” isn’t an example of doing just that, I don’t know what would be.

        Sigh. That’s not political. That’s stupid smack talk. That’s fucking asking him to do it. “What are you going to do, stab me?” - man that was stabbed.
