THE HEAD OF ONE CANADA’S MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES WANTS TO PUT A 100 PERCENT TARIFF ON TESLA PRODUCTS-
IN RESPONSE TO U.S. TRADE POLICIES UNDER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.
“Canadians are pissed off. They feel insulted. We were good neighbors. We worked together to build a good economy, and Donald Trump has insulted us.” -Jagmeet Singh
JAGMEET SINGH, A MEMBER OF THE CANADIAN HOUSE OF COMMONS AND LEADER OF THE NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY, PROPOSED THE IDEA –
ALONG WITH A ten THOUSAND DOLLAR REBATE FOR CANADIAN-MADE EVS.
SINGH SAYS CANADA SHOULD STAND UP AGAINST WHAT HE DESCRIBED AS ECONOMIC PRESSURE FROM THE UNITED STATES-
ADDING THAT IF HIS PARTY WERE IN POWER, THE RETALIATORY TARIFFS WOULD BE IMPOSED.
“We want to put 100% tariff on Tesla cars. You pick a fight with Canada. We’re going to fight back. We want to make sure Donald Trump and Elon Musk feel it.” -Jagmeet Singh
THE CANADIAN POLITICIAN ALSO TOOK AIM AT TESLA CEO ELON MUSK-
WHO SERVES WITHIN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AS A SPECIAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE.
SINGH ACCUSED MUSK OF MAKING COMMENTS THAT ATTACK CANADA-
CITING THE TESLA CHIEF’S PAST REMARKS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR CANADA TO BECOME A U.S. STATE.
“We also want to punch back against those that are taking shots at our sovereignty. We know that the billionaire buddy of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, is a driving force behind the 51st state, so let’s punch back against him.” -Jagmeet Singh
THIS COMES AS CANADA IS SET TO HOLD FEDERAL ELECTIONS IN OCTOBER-
A RACE THAT SINGH HAS ALREADY DESCRIBED AS A CONTEST BETWEEN POLITICALLY LIBERAL AND CONSERVATIVE VALUES.
