Tate McRae claps back at angry Canadians over pro-USA ad
By Vjosa Isai
Canadian global singing sensation Tate McRae has been forced to defend her appearance in an ad for the USA’s Winter Olympic Games coverage amid rising tensions between the two North American countries.
For fans of McRae’s home team, Canada, it almost seemed as if she got lost on her way to the CBC, Canada’s Olympic broadcaster.
The video, which McRae, 22, posted on her Instagram page, has induced strong feelings from some Canadians, at a time when national unity is soaring across the country in the face of threats by President Donald Trump.
Showing she was still true to her Canadian heritage, McRae posted a photo of herself as a young girl holding a Canadian flag which was captioned: “y’all know I’m Canada down’.”
