NDP Proposes Tesla Tariffs, $10K EV Rebate: A Canadian Auto Industry Debate
In response to potential US tariffs on Canadian goods, the NDP proposes a 100 per cent tariff on Tesla vehicles, citing Elon Musk’s criticism of Canada. To incentivize domestic EV purchases, the party pledges to reinstate and double the federal EV rebate to $10,000 for Canadian-made vehicles. This initiative aims to support Canadian consumers and the domestic auto industry while countering potential economic threats. The NDP’s strategy is framed as a proactive response to protect Canadian interests.
