In the midst of a commercial war between Canada and the United States, the nation to the north has begun to take some patriotic measures to keep their spirits alive.
A wave of anti -American feeling has spread through Canada thanks to the repeated suggestions of President Trump to annex the nation as the “State 51”.
Not only that, but Trump has begun to impose a wave of tariffs that would negatively affect the Canadian economy.
In recent days, the American national anthem has been booed in sporting events in Canada, especially in the NBA and NHL games.
But the city of Mississauga, Ontario, a neighbor of Toronto, has taken things one step further by declaring the elimination of American flags from all the sporting places in the city.
Mayor Carolyn Parrish announced that the city 'has begun to eliminate all US flags of sports sands and locations along the Ontario Lake, including the spring in Snug Harbor in Port Credit. Large Canadian flags are ordered and will be installed in all poles of the City Council.

This occurs in the midst of greater political tensions between the United States and Canada
Missauga, the seventh largest city in Canada and home of 770,000 people (among the populations of San Francisco and Seattle) has several sports complexes.
That includes a sand that houses the G-League team of Toronto Raptors, Raptors 905 and sets 5,400 for sport.
When asked the cost of the city for knocking out these flags, Parrish replied: 'Peanuts'.
“We lift and lower the flags all the time,” he said. “Very small investment that sends a proud Canadian message to those Americans who share our concerns.”
West Lincoln, another city of Ontario located less than 50 miles from Mississauga, recently voted to eliminate the US flag of its community hockey sand.
The elimination of flags in the sands is not the only sample related to Canadian patriotism. The 'Codos Up' movement has swept the country, appearing in clothes, stickers, hats, posters and more. It is a hockey term, which indicates preparation for struggle and aggression.
This icy relationship began not caused by Trump, who joked in the campaign to take care of his neighbors to the north.
Then, earlier this month, the newly installed US president introduced 25 percent tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico.
The former Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, announced retaliation tariffs on American imports, as well as exports rates such as steel.
