Canada 'rage room' lets visitors smash Trump, Vance, Musk portraits to release tariff angst

President Donald Trump's tariff battle with Canada led one Halifax, Nova Scotia, business to offer Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk portraits for customers to smash.

The "Smash the Tariffs" promotion offers customers portraits of Trump to "smash," discounts on other "smashables."

Customers who order any package of smashables at the business, about 600 miles northeast of Boston across the Bay of Fundy, receive a Trump portrait for free, and with a $5 donation to a Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, food bank, they can also smash likenesses of Vice President JD Vance and DOGE leader Elon Musk.

Efforts to reach Rage Room: Halifax were unsuccessful on Tuesday, as it was closed as scheduled.

If customers are able to relieve stress and be entertained, then it is a "win," he said.

A social media post advertising the new promotion invited Canadians "fed up with the chaos" and news cycle to come and enjoy the "perfect way to let it out."

The boy was asked by the outlet why he wanted to smash the portrait and responded, "it's about how he's treating this country (Canada)," as his sister soon smashed another Trump portrait with a golf club.

The girl said Trump is "not a very smart man" and that the rage room allowed her to safely release frustrations.

Typical smashable packages have descriptors such as "Anger Management" and "Parental Leave," according to CTV.

Customers are also regularly asked what their top smashable was during their visit. As of late, it has been Trump's likeness.

The Secret Service, which often probes issues regarding presidential protection, did not respond to a request for comment for the purposes of this story. 

Canadian news coverage has shown state stores removing American bourbon and other uniquely U.S. products from their shelves in response to Trump's tariff actions.

"Let's solve this problem," Poilievre said while gathered with blue-collar workers in L'Orignal, Ont.
