In Canada, the city of Toronto has found a way to punish Elon Musk

In Canada, the city of Toronto has found a way to punish Elon Musk

In Toronto, taxi drivers will no longer be eligible for subsidies offered by the city to buy a Tesla. A particularly political decision in a context of tension between Canada and the United States. Just a few days ago, taxi drivers could benefit from a bonus to buy an electric vehicle from the Austin firm. But this windfall is no longer relevant. Indeed, Olivia Chow, the mayor of Toronto, has decided to stop subsidizing the purchase of Teslas. A way to send a message to Washington.

The city's mayor wants to denounce "the trade war" with the United States. At the same time, she wants to punish Elon Musk. It turns out that Tesla will be the only brand to no longer benefit from this subsidy. That's not all: the deputy mayor, Mike Colle, is also trying to close the Tesla center opened in the Yorkdale shopping center.

He told a Canadian media outlet that Elon Musk is “the second most powerful man in the Trump administration” and also the one who seems “most determined to destroy the Canadian economy.” The city is therefore looking to engage in a fight against the billionaire. And as you can see, it’s Tesla that will pay the price.
