If Trump and Musk attack Canadian autoworkers, I would slap a 100% tariff on Teslas - and give Canadians a $10,000 rebate to buy Canadian-made EVs and plug-in hybrids.
We'll hit back where it counts and support Canadian workers.

Our plan starts with dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs and immediate support for every worker impacted.
