Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has encouraged Canadians at the 4 Nations final hockey game to focus more on cheering on their country than booing the United States national anthem over its president’s threat of tariffs.

“I would focus on cheering on Canadians. I want Canadians to win,” Poilievre said on Feb. 20 when asked about the game to be held later that night.
