Calgary home with pro-Trump flags becomes vandalism target in cross-border trade war

Police say the homeowners reported eggs, dog excrement and online threats after their pro-Trump displays drew anger over the tariff fight.

  • Frustrated by the renewed U.S. tariff trade war, some Calgarians are targeting a pro-Trump home in Calgary with vandalism, including eggs, dog feces, and online threats of arson.
  • The United States imposed 50 per cent tariffs on about $28 billion in Canadian exports just over a week ago, prompting Canada to announce retaliatory tariffs taking effect Sept. 8.
  • Calgary police confirmed they received a vandalism report on Aug. 23, though no criminal charges were filed; the homeowner stated, "We're proud Americans, we support the president, and that was the idea behind the flags."
  • Tensions extend beyond the residence; President Donald Trump signed an order last week renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America to counter criticism from Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
  • Despite the current hostility, the homeowner remains in Canada, describing the trade fight as fleeting and expressing confidence that Canada and the United States will eventually "kiss and make up.
