Summary

A Canada goose successfully fended off a bald eagle in a rare 20-minute battle on a frozen lake in Burlington, Ontario.

Captured by photographer Mervyn Sequeira, the encounter took on symbolic meaning amid rising tensions between Canada and the U.S., sparked by Donald Trump's trade policies and comments about annexation.

The confrontation paralleled recent national pride moments, including Canada’s overtime hockey victory against the U.S.

I thought they were always called Canadian? As in Canadian goose, Canadian geese. Canada goose sounds weird
