A community club has removed the U.S. flag after the area’s councillor called for them to be removed from city-owned facilities.

Transcona Coun. Russ Wyatt made the request to Mayor Scott Gillingham shortly before U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods took effect late Monday night. He said Wednesday that the Transcona East End Community Club has removed the flag from inside its arena.

Wyatt has cited Trump’s repeated statements that Canada should become America’s 51st state, the tariffs and how Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was treated during a recent meeting in the Oval Office as reasons for his request.
