If you go to the Vancouver International Auto Show, you can see all the new models. However, if you want to see a Tesla, you must go down the road to check out a car without a political litmus test. The organizers are just the latest group to join the mob retaliating against Elon Musk for working with the Trump Administration to remove waste and fraud in government through his DOGE program. What was most striking was the pathetic rationalization of the organization for engaging in political retaliation.
According to the Canadian Auto Dealer, the organizers claimed a common rationalization for political discrimination: security. As we have seen on college campuses for years, where conservative speakers are barred due to security concerns, the Canadians claimed that they could not protect innocent parties if a single Tesla was allowed on the floor. Furthermore, they blamed Tesla, insisting the company was given “multiple opportunities to voluntarily withdraw.”
In other words, we only cancelled Musk when he refused to cancel himself.
Tesla already had a booth set up and had to take it down.
So, the solution to extremists is to give them precisely what they demand.
After all, some on the left are committing political violence and claiming that they were triggered by the mere appearance of Teslas or other symbols. This week, another person wearing a MAGA hat was assaulted. The woman was triggered by the hat on the head of a 72-year-old man so she attacked him.
The Canadians appear willing collaborators in this retaliation. Rather than simply posting proper security, they banished the victim of the political violence. By blaming it on Tesla, they can throw up their hands and say “we tried” but Tesla was unreasonable.
It is the same rationalization heard from those arrested for political violence.
For example, Natasha Cohen, 46, a New York therapist, was arrested for vandalizing Teslas and explained that she is “living in terror every day.” It is a familiar refrain as the rise in political violence becomes undeniable. On Friday, New York Times Chief White House Correspondent and MSNBC Political Analyst Peter Baker came under fire for admitting that leftist violence is on the rise, but noting that Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric “might excite people to take action.”
Cohen explained that it is all Elon’s fault:
“Every time I see those cars, I see Elon Musk saluting the country as a Nazi…I made a mistake because I’m basically living in terror every day that the country is turning into Nazi Germany. I’m truly terrified, because Elon was unelected and they’re deporting migrants without a trial.”
However, people like Cohen are now safe from being triggered at the Vancouver International Auto Show. The organizers are only banning those who refuse to ban themselves.
They must have some former presidents of Ivy League Universities on the governing board of the Vancouver International Auto Show. Condemn the victims and flop for the perpetrators.
On the other hand since this is Vancouver and the city is turning into Beijing West, maybe they just wanted to clear the field for the Chinese Electric Car Companies that are planning to swamp Europe and the US (from their factories in Mexico and Hungary that are presently being built).
Sounds to me like the tariffs on Mexico and Canada need to stay in place, especially in regards to EV’s. Of course I never plan to buy an EV.
Stephen Stills said it best when he wrote “For What It’s Worth” back in ’66 as performed by Buffalo Springfield: “Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep….” The Left and the cadre of Marxists populating its ranks decry the authoritarian tactics of dictatorships…, then happily deploy the same tactics against those “scary” conservatives who prefer law and order over graft, corruption, tyranny and violence. Go figure.
Oh Trump, Oh Trump — you really want Canada as a 51st state?! It will take a century to retrain such fragile, easily manipulated minds of the Canadian masses! Canada — get a grip on reality! As the saying goes, ‘they came for … , I said nothing; then they came for me …” We need a border wall with Canada!
There’s no way Trump really wants Canada as a 51st state.* He just likes to troll.
*He knows that would mean two more Democrat Senators and 55 more Democrat Congressmen, which would put the House in Dem control forever.
And 57 blue electoral votes. We don’t need a mega-California.
On a related note. Here is your idiot in chief…

Wow, that’s the most interesting thing I’ve ever heard. That is so fascinating, it’s probably the news story of the century! (Yawn, zzzzz)
Your idiot president made up stories in the White House. False news, directly from the Prez. That doesn’t;’t bother you?
No more and no less than having a brain-dead deludinoid in the White House didn’t;’t bother you.
Who said it didn’t bother me? I think Biden’s attempting to stay in office long after his expiration date is disgusting. It will go down as one of the more dumb things a president has done.
But how does Biden’s condition make trumps idiocy any better?
The current Prez lies to the public with a foreign leader next to him. That is truly disgusting.
“We knew and we were reporting on the multi-jump cuts in the videos of him, where it was obvious he couldn’t get through a one-minute take.”
“It was clear to us that he was using teleprompter,”
“There was an attempted cover-up. It could only ever work if you allowed it. If the press allowed it. Some of us tried not to, and some of us were complicit.”

Loonies
Canadians will just use electric snow-mobiles
Guyventner-going to be cold out there when the electric snowmobile runs out of a charge. Batteries have a shorter charge in cold weather. Maybe they will be found in the spring
I look forward to Trump telling Canada they can’t export their oil from the USA….they don’t have shipping ports capable of exporting large amounts of oil…and it is their largest export!
The therapist needs a therapist.
You mean if you act like a Nazi there are consequences? Who woulda thought?
The ones acting like Nazi brown shirts are leftist Democrats.
This is what Nazis do,

UpstateFarmer-to quote the Old West. He gets a fair trial and then we hang him.
globalist ARE FASCISTS!
Who need to be DESTROYED!
What is the most terrifying is the hysteria of the uninformed, their ignorance and most of all how easily manipulated people have become! To be terrified of Elon Musk is to hate a man who brought back our astronauts from space, who aided the US government with his satellites in the Ukraine war and who has inventions that will aid mankind. The Dems are the most dangerous because they manipulate people for their own political advantage. Now, that is the scary part of the story!
They appear to have very little intelligence and/or disordered minds. Tesla was the darling of the Left because it was leading the way in the area of climate change. It is still the same company, doing the same things, but now the Left hates Tesla for an irrational reason: because the person associated with the company is helping reduce fraud, waste, and abuse in government spending. These are the same people who think men should be in women’s competitive sports, invading their locker rooms, and depriving them of scholarship opportunities. They used to be feminists but now they hate real women.
Bottom line: liberalism is a mental disorder.
Agreed. I just can’t fathom the mindset required to be ‘triggered’ by inanimate objects.
OldManFromKS,
Well said. It takes a special kind of crazy and stupid to filled with such hate to think it is justified to attack people or objects.
I wonder what their parents were like?
God forbid Canada should ever become part of the US. They are stark raving lunatics up there in the not-so-great frozen north. We have enough left-wing nuts with TDS and MDS here as it is, we don’t need to import another 40 million of them.
“God forbid Canada should ever become part of the US”
Kansas, you must be mulling over Trump’s comments about Canada becoming the 51st state. Sometimes, he says things that cause me to reach for my Gaviscon, even though most of his words are on target, and he gets things done. Fortunately, such comments are becoming rarer. However, Canada is interesting. I want it to remain a separate nation, but does all Canada desire the same? The Canadian Shield divides the east from the west so that ties between Western Canada and the US are strong, with more activity occurring north to south (US) Than west to east. That makes me wonder about Western Canada’s affinity to its eastern portion. Who knows what might happen in the future
Meh. What a bold move! Such heroes! It takes a lot of guts to go with the flow and truckle to the Leftists. Musk should attend, just to send them diving under their beds in shivering terror.
You may have noticed that the propensity to be “terrorized” by such as Elon Musk is a feature of the limited intelligence so prevalent today among the “credentialed” who more and more resemble the privileged children of the aristos of late nineteenth century Britain.
How childish and petulant, but not unexpected.
“… Natasha Cohen, 46, is a New York therapist, was arrested for vandalizing Teslas and explained that she is “living in terror every day.” …”
That is as ridiculous as boycotting Porsche or Volkswagen for the WW•II or GM, Chrysler, and Jeep for their participation in Vietnam, Desert Storm …
How childish and petulant – but not unexpected.
I would expect nothing less from the Hosers.
They’re modern canucks. Their courage ends at the ice rink.
