Canada has contributed to develop this game. Often, we helped create it," said the hat creator, whose "National sovereignty" caps became a viral trend earlier in the year. "Maybe we're too humble about what Canada has offered. But we shouldn't shy away from claiming acknowledgment for what we've helped create."

The designer, who manages a creative company in the capital with his partner, Emma Cochrane, developed the caps both as a response to the patriotic caps marketed by the former president and as "modest gesture of love of country to address these major concerns and this big bluster".
