Canadian Fans Boo U.S. National Anthem WWE Elimination Chamber in Toronto

The incident, tied to escalating U.S.-Canada tensions over tariffs, prompted strong criticism from WWE commentator Pat McAfee.

During the WWE Elimination Chamber event in Toronto, Canadian fans loudly booed the performance of the U.S. national anthem by singer Elizabeth Irving.
The booing follows weeks of escalating tensions between the U.S. and Canada over President Trump’s announced tariffs on Canadian imports, set to take effect on March 4.
WWE commentator Pat McAfee reacted strongly, calling Canada a 'terrible country' during the live broadcast, sparking further online debate.
The incident is part of a broader trend of 'anthem wars,' with fans from both countries booing each other’s national anthems at recent sporting events, including hockey and basketball games.
The booing at the event underscores growing political and cultural tensions between the two nations, fueled by recent rhetoric and policy decisions from both sides.
