Canadians Express Anger Towards Tesla Amid Vandalism Incidents

In Hamilton, Ontario, over 80 Tesla cars were vandalized recently, resulting in the puncturing of tires and scratches on the vehicle bodies. This act reflects growing frustration among Canadians, fueled by a broader sentiment of discontent towards relations with the United States, particularly under former President Trump's administration.

Elon Musk's controversial remarks about Canada have added to the tension, and significant acts of protest have arisen in response. In Montreal, a Tesla dealership was vandalized with pink spray paint by members of an environmental group who accused Musk of undermining democracy and promoting climate denial. Local leaders are also taking steps against American companies, demonstrating grassroots resistance to perceived injustices stemming from the trade war initiated by Trump.

The backlash against Musk comes amidst ongoing trade disputes, with Canadian leaders implementing measures such as removing American products from stores and canceling contracts with U.S. companies.

With thousands signing a petition calling for the revocation of Musk's Canadian citizenship, it is clear that a strong sentiment against this billionaire’s influence and his alignment with U.S. policies is gaining traction across Canada.
