Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taunted the United States on Thursday night, after his country won the 4 Nations Face-Off ice hockey tournament in overtime, posting, “You can’t take our country – and you can’t take our game.” Team Canada’s Connor McDavid scored the game-winning goal to give his team the 3-2 win over the U.S. in Boston. The game was played amid heightened rivalry after President Donald Trump said Canada should become his country’s 51st state, with Trump openly calling Trudeau the “governor” of Canada. Negotiations over increasing tariffs on Canadian goods into the United States have also caused friction. The American national anthem has been regularly booed by Canadian sports fans in recent weeks. Trudeau posted video of him celebrating the overtime win, hugging friends in a bar while wearing a Canada jersey. (Credit: Justin Trudeau via Storyful)
