Demonstrators staged a peaceful protest at a Tesla dealership in Langley, B.C., on Saturday, but Vancouver police say other protests have crossed the line and led to charges.
More than a dozen people set up outside a Tesla dealership in Langley, B.C., on Saturday for what they called a “Tesla Takedown.”
The small but noisy crowd had a clear message for car buyers and Canadians.
“I think Elon Musk is evil. I was going to buy a Tesla last year myself and I was so glad that I didn’t,” said protester Joanne Fry. “But I feel so bad for people who did and have to live with this, but I think we have to stand up as Canadians.”
The close ties between Elon Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump have triggered widespread backlash against the car company.
Saturday’s event was the latest in a string of Tesla protests that started in the United States and have spread to Canada.
A small group also gathered Saturday outside the Tesla dealership in Edmonton, and vehicles at dealerships elsewhere, such as in Hamilton, Ont. have been vandalized.
“If we push hard, we can bring people like Elon Musk down,” said Langley protest organizer Pat McCutcheon.
Although Saturday’s demonstration was peaceful, that has not been the case for many others.
