'Hit Them Back': Canadian Politician Suggests 100% Tariffs On Teslas
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to Donald's looming 25% tariffs on Canada tomorrow by saying he's ready for "a purposeful, forceful but reasonable, immediate response." Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland went a step further, saying Ottawa should target Tesla vehicles and U.S. alcohol as part of its tariff retaliation package to send a message that an attack on Canadian trade would not be cost-free for Trump's allies.
And Leon Musk has it coming as he's attempting a hostile takeover of the federal government.
Inside EVs reports:
"We need to be very targeted, very surgical, very precise," Freeland told the news outlet. "We need to look through and say who is supporting Trump and how can we make them pay a price for a tariff attack on Canada."
Tesla's EVs sold in Canada are made in the U.S. as well as China. Canadian tariffs would then raise their prices in that country, leading EV buyers to turn to other automakers instead.
