Toronto's deputy mayor, Mike Colle, is advocating for the ousting of Tesla from the city, specifically targeting the Yorkdale Shopping Centre dealership. This move stems from widespread public discontent regarding Tesla's association with Elon Musk, particularly the latter's ties to U.S. President Donald Trump amid recent tariff disputes with Canada. Colle has formally approached Oxford Properties, the mall's owner, asking them to reconsider Tesla's lease. Despite this, he admits that the city lacks leverage to force Tesla out, labelling his request as a ‘polite, aggressive ask.’
"People are really angry with anything to do with Tesla and they're also letting me know they're not happy with the fact that there's a Tesla retail outlet in my ward."
"I'm cordially asking the owners of Yorkdale Plaza, would you please consider terminating their lease or asking them to leave."
Collection
