First paragraph of the article.

"Canada, following the lead of the United States and European Union, said on Monday it would impose a 100% tariff on imports of Chinese electric vehicles and announced a 25% tariff on imported steel and aluminum from China.
The duties apply to all EVs shipped from China, which would include those made by Tesla"

The U.S. imposed their sanctions in May while the E.U.imposed theirs in July.

He's busy inventing new ways to fail every day.
I'm all for tariffs on Tesla.

But it has to be balanced by more subsidies for north american EV's.

It includes the Tesla EVs made in China. Are you keeping up?

Tesla asked Canada to reduce tariffs on its EVs made in China, Reuters source says
This week, Trudeau announced 100% surtax on all EVs made in China and sold in Canada

Tesla does not disclose its Chinese exports to Canada. However, vehicle-identification codes showed that the Model 3 compact sedan and Model Y crossover models were being exported from Shanghai to Canada.

Conservatives wanted the same 100% tariffs. So, not sure what is OP's point?

Poilievre vows 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs as Liberals say decision coming ‘soon’

Poilievre vows 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs as Liberals say decision coming ‘soon’ | Globalnews.ca

Speaking at a steel plant in Hamilton Friday, Poilievre criticized Beijing for producing 'artificially cheap steel and aluminum and EVs' and threatening Canadian workers.

We have to remember that Canada imposed such tariffs in tandem with the US Democratic Government. Thought tariffs were more of a Socialist Policy.........LOL!!

I think Elon is placing his own self induced tariffs on his Teslas by alienating the only folks who would even consider buying his shit boxes, the lefties.

Are Tesla EVs made in China not considered Chinese goods?

And do you think this will inspire people to embrace the green agenda or not?

So the only EVs imported from China are Tesla cars for now. This will be slapped with a 100% tariff in Canada.
What is your point when you are the one questioning Frankfooter for quoting Tesla in the first place, as if it was not made in China?
Trump does not oppose it, but the only one who does so is of course Musk:

www.bbc.co.uk

Elon Musk says he opposes US tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles

He previously warned Chinese car makers would "demolish" rivals if there were no trade barriers.
