‘Make Them Pay A Price:’ Tesla Threatened With 100% Tariffs In Canada

Until it’s time to not be nice.” The people of Canada, by and large, are famous the world over for being very nice.

Labatts is my choice. Like Molson’s, too.
Ontario is a neighbor, hope I’m still welcome to go up there in the Summer and Fall. Was gonna go up there skiing, but it’s been a stellar year here ( make up for the last 2 ), so no need. Can’t blame them if the answer is No.
