Mervyn Sequeira, an Ontario photographer, captured a rare moment when a Canada goose successfully defended itself against a bald eagle's multiple attacks on a frozen lake. This unexpected event parallels the backdrop of escalating tensions between Canada and the US, particularly under Donald Trump, who imposed tariffs on Canadian goods and disparaged the country in remarks. The recent victory of Canada's national hockey team against the US served as a unifying symbol for Canadians facing these challenges, with Prime Minister Trudeau asserting their nation's sovereignty.
"I've seen bald eagles take a lot of things, from ducks to muskrats. But this is the first time I've seen a bald eagle go in for something as big as a goose," he said.
"At a time when Canada's sovereignty has come under unprecedented threat from Donald Trump's US, the battle between the two birds closely associated with each country has emerged as the latest symbol of tensions between the two countries."
"You can't take our country and you can't take our game," the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, posted on social media.
"This week, Trump put a 25% tax on most Canadian goods and has further aggravated his northern neighbour, derisively calling it the 51st state and pledging to annex the world's second largest country."
