A rage room in Halifax is providing Canadians with a clever way to blow off some steam amid a heated political climate: framed photos of U.S. President Donald Trump for smashing.
Some might call it a “smashing” good time.
A rage room in Halifax is providing Canadians with a clever way to blow off some steam amid an intense political climate between Canada and the U.S. — framed photos of U.S. President Donald Trump for smashing, among other items related to the tariff war.
“Fed up with the chaos? News cycle getting you down? We hear you—and we’ve got the perfect way to let it all out,” Rage Room Halifax wrote in an Instagram post.
Rage Room Halifax is calling it a “smash the tariffs” event where each session includes a free framed photo of Trump to break, as well as 25 per cent off “extra smashables” to “extend the destruction.”
If customers want to take it up a notch, the rage room also offers a U.S. Vice-President JD Vance and Elon Musk portrait pack for an extra $5. All proceeds will go to Feed Nova Scotia, the business said.
Terry LeBlanc, the owner and CEO of Rage Room Halifax, told Global News he came up with the idea one night and felt like the photos were needed.
“Normally, I don’t really get political. However, I feel with everything going on in the world and what’s happening these days … this is needed,” LeBlanc said.
Rage rooms provide a safe space for people to release pent-up energy by breaking electronics and household items. The move stems from the countrywide surge of frustration from Trump’s tariff threats and comments about making Canada the 51st state.
