On Sunday, Team USA’s men’s hockey team defeated Canada in overtime to win their first gold medal since 1980, when America’s underdogs pulled off an upset against the Soviet Union. The victory was sweeter because we beat the Canadians in their flagship sport — and not just their men’s team but their women’s team as well. Many on X joked that if there was ever a time for annexation, it’s now.

There was some (probably justified) online outcry after the White House tweeted a picture of a bald eagle attacking a Canada goose, responding to former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s statement: “You can’t take our country, and you can’t take our game.”
