Canadians in various cities, including Surrey, B.C., took part in 'Tesla Takedown' protests against Elon Musk on March 16, 2025. They displayed signs and garnered support from drivers passing by. The protesters were driven by Musk's political engagement and recent tariffs imposed by Trump on Canadian goods that sparked a trade conflict. These protests seek to highlight the perceived interference of billionaires in politics. Attendees voiced worries about diminishing democracy and sovereignty in Canada, condemning the sway of Musk and other billionaires.
