Canada freezes rebate payments to Tesla, bars it from future programs due to tariffs

Well, it's a small response..in the great scheme of things..but it does effect Tesla's bottom line.
I was never really in favor of such rebate programs..when tendered to a multi-billion dollar company.
I wonder how Muck feels about HIS corporate welfare going away? Maybe Trump will help him out?

Canada has frozen all rebate payments for Tesla and banned the electric-vehicle maker from future EV rebate programs, Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Tuesday.

No rebate payments will be made until each claim is individually investigated and determined to be valid, Freeland said in an emailed statement shared by her office.

Freeland also directed Transport Canada to revise eligibility requirements for future Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) programs to ensure that Tesla vehicles are not eligible as long as the "illegitimate and illegal U.S. tariffs are imposed against Canada."

If he’s smart then he stops selling all of his company’s products in Canada, including his solar products and pulls all of his assets out of Canada.

This is old news as they did this a.week or.so.ago, it totaled $43M I believe which is a pittance, akin to less than 3% of the annual budget of Toronto Police alone. Police States can't succeed in the globally competitive economies that rely on value-add industries not races to the bottom, caste systems and nepotism. Fact.

If Canada wants to play a tit-for-tat game, they will lose. If Canada doesn't want to play fair with us, then there is no reason to play fair with Canada. Reciprocal tariffs are fair. And no one cares whether Canada likes it or not.
