Something disturbing is happening right here in Canada. And it’s not just isolated incidents anymore. It’s becoming normalized—and that should worry every single one of us.
We are now seeing groups, and in some cases, actual organizations, vandalize Tesla vehicles across the country: Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal. It’s not rare; it’s increasing. They slash tires, smash windows, and key the paint. They plaster the vehicles with slogans, thinking it makes them look brave or righteous. But it doesn’t. It makes them look ridiculous.
Their excuse? Elon Musk. They don’t like who he’s friends with—Donald Trump, for one. They don’t like that he calls himself the “Head of D.O.G.E.” They don’t like that he promotes free speech on X. So they’ve convinced themselves they have the right to destroy property. It's not Musk’s property, mind you—regular Canadians who happen to own a Tesla.
So what?
What Musk does in the U.S. is his business. What he says, who he talks to, or what he invests in doesn’t give anyone here in Canada the right to commit a crime. None of it justifies attacking people’s private property. But these people don’t seem to care.
Let’s call them what they are: cowards. Spoiled, privileged brats who think they’re standing up for something, but really they’re just showing everyone how empty-headed they are. Most of them hide behind masks like common criminals. Not because they’re standing up to some great injustice—but because they know what they’re doing is wrong. They don’t have the guts to show their faces.
And here’s the kicker: they’re not even smart enough to realize that Teslas come equipped with multiple security cameras. Every move they make, every scratch of their keys, every sticker they slap on a window—recorded. They’re too stupid to realize they’re filming their own arrests. Some of them are even hoping to be filmed, desperate for attention. Posting videos of themselves committing crimes online as if it’s something to brag about. They’re not brave. They’re pathetic.
Earlier this month in Vancouver, several Teslas were spray-painted and keyed. Anti-Musk slogans were scratched into the paint. In Toronto, a Tesla dealership was attacked—windows smashed, tires slashed. Montreal? Same thing. It’s not just random one-offs. This is a pattern. And it’s creeping into other cities, including Winnipeg.
According to Statistics Canada, property crime is on the rise. The 2023 Crime Severity Index shows non-violent crime up by 4%, with mischief and property damage increasing in major cities. Vandalism like this isn’t a protest. It’s a symptom of a society that’s letting the mob take control.
We used to be better than this. We respected private property. We believed in law and order. Now? We’re watching mobs destroy cars because they don’t like the guy who makes them. It’s juvenile. It’s useless. And it’s dragging our country down.
It’s no different than what we’re seeing at some of these pro-Palestinian protests across Canada. Protesters hiding behind masks, screaming foul language at anyone who doesn’t support their cause, and calling ordinary Canadians walking by “Nazis.” It’s disgusting. This isn’t free speech—it’s harassment and intimidation. If you hate this country so much, if you think everyone here is your enemy, then maybe it’s time to leave. No one is forcing you to stay.
Canada doesn’t owe you anything. If you don’t like the laws, the freedoms, and the values this country was built on, there are plenty of places that might suit you better.
Canada was once a place of safety and opportunity. We welcomed people from around the world because we believed in fairness and the rule of law. Now we’re becoming a refuge for hate and division, where vandals feel they’re owed something because we let them in. That’s not how it works. That’s not who we’re supposed to be.
This is ridiculous. It’s embarrassing. I don’t recognize this country anymore.
Let me spell it out: If I walked into a parking lot tomorrow and keyed a car because I disagreed with its owner, I’d be charged. And rightly so. Yet these fools? They record themselves committing crimes and expect applause. And worse, they often get it.
It’s a sad reflection of what we’ve become, and our elected officials should be ashamed. They’ve allowed this to happen, turning Canada into a place where mobs make the rules and property rights mean nothing.
This isn’t about politics. It’s about basic values. Respecting other people’s rights. Protecting property. Enforcing the law. If we don’t draw the line here, we lose everything that made this country worth building in the first place.
And business owners—you should be paying close attention. If this is the new standard, who’s next? If you run a business that someone doesn’t like, do you think they’ll stop at keying cars? If you drive the “wrong” vehicle, are you next in line for a smashed window?
The answer isn’t more talk—it’s action. Enough is enough. We need law enforcement to crack down, judges who take this seriously, and politicians who care more about law and order than getting likes on social media.
Canada is better than this. Or it used to be.
It’s time we act like it again.
