There's a famous quote from the movie Road House that's useful for all sorts of situations: "Be nice. Until it's time to not be nice." The people of Canada, by and large, are famous the world over for being very nice. But clearly, the current tariff situation in the U.S. has some of them getting ready to not be nice.
And at least one top politician in Canada is prepared to go directly after Tesla as a result.
In an interview with The Canadian Press, the country's Liberal Party leadership candidate, Chrystia Freeland, suggested 100% tariffs be applied to a number of U.S.-sourced goods in response to President Trump's threatened tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports. Freeland said those could include wine, beer and all Teslas, specifically. And yes, this is because of Tesla CEO's financial and operational support of Trump, Freeland said.
