    The entire point of the "blame Canada" joke is that it's making fun of people who tried to blame their own problems on something that had nothing to do with the underlying cause for those problems.

    In the song Kenny's parents literally say "should we blame the matches, or should we blame the fire, or the doctors who allowed him to expire? no blame Canada!"

    The final verse really drives the nail home just in case anyone in the audience somehow didn't get it:

    Blame Canada
    Shame on Canada
    For the smut we must stop, the trash we must smash
    The laughter and fun must all be undone
    We must blame them and cause a fuss
    Before somebody thinks of blaming us!

      But can these people stop doing it to privately owned vehicles? And also, stop harassing the telsers on the road. I’ve seen a few videos now of drivers being harassed.

      No. We need to make fascists afraid again. If you don't want to be bothered for owning a Klankar, then stop owning a Klankar.

      1. By that logic we should be attacking Fords because Henry Ford was a Nazi. Maybe we should be burning 3M and Bayer products in the store?

      2. Most existing Tesla owners are left-leaning and purchased the car in good faith before Elon was a public Nazi figure.

      3. It’s not always easy to just sell your car. People are locked into financing contracts and have perhaps shelled out money for charging solutions at their home.

      Your worldview is childish and reductive. Grow up and come back later.

        This is why I hate the left is there is a ton of people just as stupid as people on the right. They have no social intelligence. They're out for blind rage blood. On the left and the right these people have that bipolar energy and rise to the top becoming our new voices of reason.

        Don’t blame this on the “left”. “Ubergeek” is just a moron.

            When Trump said he'd prosecute tesla vandals "with the full force of the law" it really highlights the unequal enforcement in our system. Its like saying "I'm going to turn on law enforcement right now just for this issue". He clearly does not believe in laws or law enforcement.

            Kind of shows that republicans are soft on crime, soft on the legal system in general, and disrespectful of law enforcement, excrpt insomuch as they can be used as personal storm troopers for issues they care about. Republicans are soft on America, but rock hard for Russia.

              This mentality is frighteningly close to one that justifies vandalism on businesses because they use temporary foreign workers. I don’t condone the destruction of private property owned by the rank and file of life. It should be directed at those who are doing actual harm

              It is directly hurting the person doing the actual harm. It's not the vandals' fault that he used innocents as his human shield.

                Is Tesla sabotaging their own cars in order to commit insurance fraud?

                  Flip them off all you’d like. That’s fine.

                  When you start brake checking people just cause? I don’t think yer doing the cause any favours.

                  Flipping off people didn't work, it got the left wing threats of being sent to an El Salvadorean prison. I don't approve or disapprove of the Tesla vandals but you bet your ass it's working.

                    There is a different view to your statement. We live in a democracy and we had an election where the citizens chose a felon, Nazi, dictator over your side. They would rather have a court certified rapist in charge than you. Just think about that and understand how repulsive and out of touch you have to be for that to happen. This effort to destroy Tesla is only hurting your cause. It is counterproductive, childish, and small. It's almost like you want MAGA to win the next election.

                    Republicans won because of voter suppression and purging. What you're saying is "Pants on fire" rewriting of history. Also Jan6ers were much, much more violent so I think Democrats are simply trying out their fascism strategy.

                    Vandalizing Teslas is legal, the precedent was set when Jan6ers were pardoned. So your morality argument is wrong too.

                      Is Henry Ford, right now, at this moment, a Nazi?

                      Maybe we should be burning 3M and Bayer products in the store?

                      Is 3M and Bayer today, at this moment, supporting Nazis?

                      Most existing Tesla owners are left-leaning and purchased the car in good faith before Elon was a public Nazi figure.

                      Ok, we're not talking about the past right now. We're talking about the current situation. If they are left-leaning, as you imply, they understand the need to NOT display actively in use Nazi symbols and paraphernalia.

                      It’s not always easy to just sell your car. People are locked into financing contracts and have perhaps shelled out money for charging solutions at their home.

                      Then they can park it, cover it with a tarp, and use public transportation. Or, ride bike. Or, use rideshare.

                      Your worldview is childish and reductive. Grow up and come back later.

                      No, it's principled: You NEVER show support for nazis, regardless of how inconvenient it is for you.

                          Not all that surprising that Canadians are especially pissed off. Didn't he say Canada isn't a real country and then he deleted the Tweet afterwards? Yes he did...

                              This is a very typical ad hominem attack on someone’s political beliefs. Especially coming from someone who probably doesn’t think much farther past what they’re going to eat for the day, or how drunk they’re going to get on the weekend. I’m not going to insult you back because it’s very clear that yer a low information individual who’s more concerned with breaking stuff, rather than trying to repair and move on.

                              Life long NDP voter btw. But I’m sure you’ll just scoff at this and continue to throw low IQ insults around.

                                I’m not too concerned about the dealerships. They have insurance. But can these people stop doing it to privately owned vehicles? And also, stop harassing the telsers on the road. I’ve seen a few videos now of drivers being harassed. That’s not Canadian.

                                      Dumb ass American here. Does Canada's prime minister or some other official have the same kind of pardon power our president does? Because they could do something pretty cool right now.

                                        I doubt antifa would control anything in Belfast (every video I've seen of them was them causing trouble and getting absolutely battered in response) Belfast isn't shy on psychopaths and likely never will be (id honestly probably join in myself . Antifa come across as so lame to me I'd start punching them myself) .

                                        So yeah I doubt antifa has the slightest bit of influence here

                                        The hate of Musk and Trump is real though I'd pay to be trapped in a room with the pair of them.

                                          Not all that surprising that Canadians are especially pissed off. Didn't he say Canada isn't a real country and then he deleted the Tweet afterwards? Yes he did...
