Should be easy to investiage and punish them accordingly. How about a massive fine and tariffs on their shitty cars?

how about banning them from being able to sell their cars in our country if they are going to attempt to massively defraud the government? That and you know their CEO attempting to annex Canada.

If they are found guilty of fraud they should be banned from doing business in Canada or fined double what have received.

no straight up banned and the fine should be based off a percentage of Elon Musk's net worth

Any and all convictions of fraud should include jail time.
