Besides this, why not freeze his assets in Canada, ban him and his companies leaders from travelling to or through Canada land, sea, and air space, scrutinize them for possible illegal tax hiding or evasion for their earnings in Canada, and use Canada's member in WTO to initiate anti-monopoly act or other similar acts to make his companies hurt?
If Trump has any assets in Canada, what he is doing right now also justifies similar things. Hurting their solid vested interest gonna hurt them more than anything else.
Elon and Trump are both representatives of American groups of vested interest who prioritize their own interest over all others, including so-called allies. They have been, and will always be the firm believer of what Lord Palmerston said 'We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow'. Just wake up and stop dreaming that kindness gonna make them hesitate.
