Florida Governor Ron DeSantis boycotted the US and shrugged Canadians in response to President Trump's 25% tariffs on imports.
Speaking to reporters, DeSantis pointed out that Florida had 140 million tourist visits in 2024 alone, of which 3.3 million came from Canada. He then took a jab with his north neighbor as he didn't win the Stanley Cup 30 years later.
“3.3 million visitors from Canada. In my book, it's not a boycott,” DeSantis said. “Maybe they wanted to get a glimpse into what the Stanley Cup-winning hockey team actually looked like.”
As pointed out Fox NewsCanada's NHL team has not won the Stanley Cup since the 1993 Montreal Canadiens.
“The Florida Panthers are real-life cup champions, but Canada's NHL teams have not won the Cup since the 1993 Montreal Canadiens. The Panthers beat the Edmonton Oilers despite forcing Game 7 after the Oilers cornered that series 3-0,” the outlet said.
“In fact, Florida actually brought home four Stanley Cups from the turn of the century. The three other three by Tampa Bay Lightning (2004, 2020, 2021) are synonymous with hockey, in contrast to Zero by Canada,” he added.
Despite Canada's misfortune at the Stanley Cup, the countries most relevant to hockey have routinely beat the US on the international stage, including last month's latest four-country showdown. Canada won gold medals at the 2002 and 2010 Winter Olympics.
Canadians increasingly, as Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and proposed it to become the 51st state Booing They even began boycotting US national anthems at sporting events and boycotting US products.
