Over the past year, worldwide sporting events have taken on a fresh importance in the Canadian context after the American leader suggested incorporating the country and convert it to the United States' "51st state".

At the climax of the presidential statements, The Canadian team overcame the American team at the international hockey competition, when spectators jeered opposing patriotic song in a deviation from protocol that underscored the intensity of the atmosphere.

After The Canadian team emerged victorious in an overtime win, previous leader Justin Trudeau articulated the public feeling in a social media post: "It's impossible to claim our nation – and you can't take our sport."

The weekend's game, hosted by Canada's largest city, comes after the Blue Jays overcame the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners to advance to the baseball finals.

Different from hockey, where exist six northern professional squads, the Blue Jays are the only team in MLB that have a fanbase covering the whole nation.

"Hockey binds the nation's people collectively, but similarly America's pastime. The Canadian territory is totally fundamentally crucial in what is currently professional baseball. Canada has contributed to influence this pastime. Often, we helped create it," stated the hat creator, whose "Canada is Not For Sale" caps became a viral trend earlier in the year. "Maybe we're too humble about what Canada has offered. But we must not avoid from claiming acknowledgment for what our nation helped develop."

The entrepreneur, who operates a design firm in the capital with his partner, Emma Cochrane, developed the caps both as a rebuttal to the red "Make America Great Again" hats distributed by the American leader and as "small act of national pride to address these big threats and this big bluster".
