Rogue 'Donald J. Trump Memorial' sign removed from Victoria, B.C., restroom A homemade sign over a Victoria, B.C., public restroom renamed it the 'Donald J. Trump Memorial' before city crews removed it on Labour Day Sunday. The rogue sign near the Galloping Goose Trail was taken down after officials received a report about the plaque. A sign that renamed a public washroom in Victoria, B.C. , the 'Donald J. Trump Memorial' was removed by city crews over the Labour Day long weekend. The homemade marker was placed above the entrance to a restroom near the Galloping Goose Trail. A photo submitted by Elizabeth M. showed the sign in place before it was taken down. The City of Victoria said in a statement that the rogue plaque was reported on Sunday and removed around 6 p.m. on that same day. City staff described the sign as resembling a wooden plaque.A municipal spokesperson added that no security cameras were present in the area, so no video evidence exists of whoever put the sign above the restroom. The sign declared the public washroom, located next to the popular Galloping Goose Trail, to be the 'Donald J. Trump Memorial.' The wording had the look of a tribute marker, but it was not part of any city program or landmark designation. No one has stepped forward to claim responsibility for the rogue installation. City officials have not said how long the sign was up before it was reported. The report came on Sunday, and workers removed it around 6 p.m. that day.According to the city, no cameras pointed at the washroom entrance, making it unlikely that officials will identify the sign maker through video. The bathroom sign is not the first time President Donald Trump has inspired a scatological response on Vancouver Island during the trade war. Over the summer, a local artist painted Trump's portrait using horse manure. She thought the manure 'seemed appropriate' for the subject.That horse-manure portrait added to a series of informal protest gestures on the island as tariff threats and political tensions with the United States continued. The rogue memorial sign outside the Victoria bathroom used a similar kind of crude humour aimed at the president. It was gone before the Labour Day holiday officially arrived. On Tuesday, amid an escalation of the trade war, B.C.Premier David Eby unveiled a government-backed sign taking a shot at Trump. The signs will soon be installed at U.S. border crossings. Their official message repeats a phrase that has become common in the trade dispute: 'never the 51st state.' The premier's sign is measured and official, while the washroom plaque was unsanctioned and informal. Both were aimed at the same audience and reflected the same political mood. The City of Victoria's response was swift, with the sign removed the day it was reported. A photo supplied by Elizabeth M. provided a visual record of the sign with its exact wording.The sign itself was later removed, and no group or individual has claimed responsibility. The city has not said whether it plans to investigate further beyond taking down the plaque. The main facts of the incident are simple: a sign went up, it was seen, it was reported, and it was removed on the same day. The broader context includes a long summer of trade disputes, protest art, and statements from political leaders.Victoria's rogue sign became a small, temporary part of that larger story.
