OTTAWA, Canada (KTLA) Canadians seemingly aren’t too happy with the tariffs being imposed on their country by U.S. President Donald Trump. 

Trump signed an order Saturday to impose stiff tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, which drew swift retaliation and sparked a trade war. 

The economic emergency declared by the president places duties of 10% on all imports from China and 25% on all imports from Mexico and Canada. Energy imported from Canada – including oil, natural gas, and electricity – would be taxed at a 10% rate. 

After the tariffs were announced, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that the actions taken by the White House “split us apart instead of [brought] us together” while announcing a matching 25% tariff on up to $155 billion on U.S. imports, including alcohol and fruit. 

Foreign politicians aren’t the only ones unhappy with the tariffs, as hockey fans in Ottawa – Canada’s capital – expressed their apparent discontent at Trump’s decision by booing as “The Star-Spangled Banner” played ahead of the Ottawa Senators game against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night.  

In footage captured by a local sports journalist Bruce Garrioch, loud booing can be heard as Ottawa musician Mandia sang the final bars of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa. Reporting from The Minnesota Star Tribune explains the booing started as she began but stopped during the midpoint of the anthem. While the jeering became louder as she finished, other fans were cheering.

As Mandia performed the Canadian national anthem, the crowd erupted into “energetic applause,” the Star Tribune reports.

The Wild lost 6-0.
