Justin Trudeau taunts Donald Trump after Canada's hockey triumph - eviltoast

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.

    That is immature, & counter-productive:

    Trump’s playing a negative-sum-game, committed to crushing & destroying the world, so-long-as he gets to be “king” ruling it’s destruction, glorying in his “status” & "wealth,

    … & amplifying his ideologically-motivated violence against Canada, for stupid childish “status”, is something any woman who survived years of domestic-violence/abuse could have told him, isn’t either wise or intelligent.

    Canada NEEDS to replace political-parties with something intelligent, honest, and responsible!

    Immediately.

      Vague positive adjectives are not a plan.

      Patriotism at work. Trump does all he can to insult Canada, and if people who govern Canada would allow it, they’d be seen as weak leaders. What they need is to work towards cutting any dependency on USA while defending their country worth.

      Also, Trump rules only thanks to his show. Getting bitchslapped like that does hurt him. ^^

      Disagree entirely. Trump has been absolutely insulting and denigrating our country, calling it the 51st state with Trudeau as its governor. We needed our Prime Minister needed to clap back if only for unity and national pride.
