Justin Trudeau has seemingly acknowledged the events of the Elimination Chamber.
Tensions have grown exponentially between countries of Canada and the US in weeks since Donald Trump took oath as the 47th president of the United States in January. Adhering to his campaign promises, the business mogul has imposed tariffs on various imports from Canada and Mexico, while also repeatedly making calls for Canada to become the 51st state of America.
The people of Canada have not taken these threats lightly and have started protesting against Trump’s intimidation tactics in various ways. One of the ways people of the country have shown their objection is by booing at the US National Anthem during various sporting events. This includes recent US-Canada match in the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off tournament and the Elimination Chamber PPV from Toronto.
The Canadian Prime Minister who has repeatedly been called the ‘governor of Canada’ by Trump addressed the recent moves of their long-term ally on Tuesday. During the speech, Justin Trudeau acknowledged his people booing the American anthem saying that it’s a protest against the policies and not the people:
“We’re probably going to keep booing the American anthem, but let me tell Americans, we’re not booing you, we’re not booing your teams, we’re not booing your players. We’re booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. And we’re insulted, and we’re angry, but we’re Canadian. Which means we’re going to stand up for each other, we’re going to fight, and we’re going to win.”
Trudeau also said Canadians are hurt and angry at being dragged into this trade war. He urged his people not to go on vacation in the US and to buy Canadian products as much as possible instead of goods from America.
WWE’s Pat McAfee had addressed the incidents on his show as well. After previously lashing out at the people of Canada, he defended his remarks saying that he loves his country. You can check out what he said here.
