Then, after Team Canada defeated Team USA in the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game, days after the teams got into three fights in a nine-second span, now-former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted to X, “You can’t take our game – and you can’t take our country.”
Well, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, of which Trump is a fanatic, will be going to Montreal on May 10, and one of UFC’s most prominent faces won’t be there.

He added, “I’d rather go to Russia.”
Rogan said the government in Canada is “terrible… but the Canadian people are awesome.”
