Can't even finish verifying the fire video before realizing that... over a week ago Canadians reported 80 Teslas at a dealership were keyed or otherwise vandalized.

The interviews in the piece are honestly great man-on-the-street work. The disappointed Canadian cybertruck owner. Total comrade brown guy who sold his Tesla the second he realized it was against his own interest to support a fascist corp.

Did you know Mark Carney was awarded the 'Order of Canada' in 2014 (under PM Harper’s recommendation) for his leadership in the development of financial policy in #Canada and around the world.

"As governor of the Bank of Canada he was one of the key players in steering the Canadian economy through the 2008 global economic crisis, championing clear communication and predictability."
