  "account": "Calgary residents upset by the ongoing U.S. trade war with Canada have reportedly targeted a pro-Trump home with vandalism. The homeowner, who identifies as a strong supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump, says the acts of aggression, including egging, feces, and arson threats, are misguided. \"The position of some would be to say, 'Hey, this guy, he doesn't agree with what we agree in, politically (even though) he goes to work, he pays his taxes … let's run them out of town,'\" he explained in an interview. The police have become involved due to the online harassment and suggestions of arson against the homeowner's residence. Despite this, the police stated there were insufficient grounds for criminal charges. The house, located near Calgary’s downtown, displays two large pro-Trump flags along with a massive American flag. The homeowner and his wife moved to Canada more than a decade ago for work reasons. While they have faced previous attacks, such as graffiti defacing their retaining wall during the 2024 U.S. presidential election, they remain committed to their Canadian life. Both nations have imposed tariffs in response to the other's actions, with the trade tensions showing no signs of abating anytime soon.",
  "summary": "Asked why they remain in Canada even with their support for the Trump administration, the U.S. homeowner who came here for work said it's because they have built a life in Calgary.",
