Quote from: Quinn Duffy on February 03, 2025, 16:19:34If I was in charge, I'd tariff Tesla out of existence in Canada.

Why? Canada doesn't have any EV manufacturing companies aside from Edison, which is small-scale and only does trucking out of BC. Canada gains nothing aside from the income from the tarrifs.

Those prices were going up prior to any tariffs and were announced a few weeks ago. As far as I know, automobiles weren't included in this first round of tariffs, but may come in with the next round in a few weeks on another $125billion of US goods. Then maybe we'll see tariffs actually applied. And if I was in charge, I'd tariff Tesla out of existence in Canada.

If Musk wasn't enough reason to not buy a Tesla, his buddy Trump just gave you another good reason not to.
