Canadian Rage Room Sparks Anti-Trump Fury
Down in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a new rage room is letting folks blow off steam in a big, bold way. It’s called Rage Room: Halifax, and it offers a chance to smash images of President Donald Trump, VP JD Vance, and even Elon Musk.
This place is capitalizing on anger. Canadians, furious over Trump’s tariffs against their country, are encouraged to take their frustration out by literally smashing portraits.
The business promotes its “Smash the Tariffs” deal. Customers get a free Trump portrait when they order any smashable package. With a small $5 donation to a Dartmouth food bank, they even score the chance to smash Vance and Musk. It’s all about letting off steam until those tariffs are lifted.
On its website, the company explains, “Until the tariffs come off, we understand you might have a little extra rage that you want to let out.”
Owner Terry LeBlanc told Global News, “we’re entertainment first.” He added, “Normally, I don’t really get political,” but then said, “However, I feel with everything going on in the world and what’s happening these days … this is needed.” If people can get a laugh and relieve tension, he says it’s a win.

A social media post for the promotion invites anyone “fed up with the chaos” to try the “perfect way to let it out.”
CTV News shared a wild clip of a 14-year-old boy. The teen, clad in a mask, grabbed a baseball bat and obliterated a Trump portrait. When asked why, he said, “it’s about how he’s treating this country (Canada).” His sister took a swing at another portrait with a golf club, calling Trump “not a very smart man” and praising the rage room for offering a safe outlet.
Smashable packages come with names like “Anger Management” and “Parental Leave.” Many customers seem to lean toward the Trump portrait when asked about their favorite item to smash.
The whole setup is a direct challenge to policies many on the right view as overreach. White House spokesman Kush Desai fired back, saying, “Fortunately, Canadians won’t have to worry about President Trump’s tariffs anymore when Canada becomes our 51st state.”
Liberal corporate media have been quick to report on Canada’s response to these tariffs, even going so far as to pull American bourbon and other U.S. goods from shelves. Globalist Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney remarked, “There is a limit given the relative size of our economies to the extent that we should match U.S. tariffs.” He noted that the U.S. economy dwarfs Canada’s by a 10:1 ratio before taking aim at Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
Poilievre isn’t buying it. Speaking with blue-collar workers in L’Orignal, Ont., he said, “Let’s solve this problem.” His criticism of the so-called “lost liberal decade” resonated with those who believe that smashing portraits is a poor substitute for real solutions.
This rage room isn’t just entertainment—it’s a bold, confrontational statement. While it might help a few blow off steam, it also underlines a growing divide. Instead of fixing policy, some are choosing to break things—and that’s a sign of the troubled times we live in.
