Auto show pulls Tesla over safety concerns
The Vancouver International Auto Show removed Tesla products a day before the slated event over safety concerns.
'The Vancouver Auto Show's primary concern is the safety of attendees, exhibitors, and staff,' Eric Nicholl, executive director of the Vancouver Auto International Show said in a statement, according to the outlet Vancouver is Awesome.
'This decision will ensure all attendees can be solely focused on enjoying the many positive elements of the event.'
Tesla was reportedly given multiple chances to withdraw from the show, which will welcome exhibitors from Wednesday to Sunday.
In recent days, some Canadians have engaged in ' Tesla Takedown ' protests urging patrons to sell their vehicles, ditch their stock and stop CEO Elon Musk from performing his role as a senior adviser to the president and Department of Government Efficiency leader in the Trump administration.
BC Hydro, a Canadian electric utility, has also pulled the company from its electrical vehicle rebate program in an effort to prioritize Canadian goods.
Musk said he was receiving push back over his attempts to stop fraud and waste.
He told Fox News's Sean Hannity Tuesday night that 'when you take away people's … fraud, the money they're receiving fraudulently, they get very upset, and they basically want to kill me because I'm stopping their fraud.'
The tech giant added, 'And they want to hurt Tesla because we're stopping this terrible waste and corruption in the government. And, well, I guess they're bad people. Bad people do bad things.'
His comments come as some Tesla dealerships within the U.S. have been set on fire and vandalized.

CFA Institute 2025 Graduate Outlook Survey: Confidence in Finance Careers Soars Among Canadian Graduates
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The 2025 Global Graduate Outlook Survey released today by CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals, found that Canadian university students and recent graduates believe that the finance industry offers the most promising career prospects in today's economic climate. Confidence in the sector has nearly doubled in the past two years. 40 per cent of Canadian respondents ranked finance as the sector in which they felt most confident, compared to 21 per cent in the 2023 Graduate Outlook Survey. Further, confidence in finance careers surpassed all other industries by at least 20 per cent, including STEM (20 per cent), healthcare (19 per cent) and marketing (16 per cent). 'Over the last few years, we have seen a significant increase in finance as a career choice for young people in Canada," said Margaret Franklin, CFA, President and CEO, CFA Institute. "That is reassuring. At CFA Institute, we believe finance serves an essential role in society and needs more committed young people to enter the field to help address the many societal challenges we face. That 93 per cent of graduates express a desire to pursue a career that positively impacts society is inspiring and gives me hope for the future of the profession." Artificial intelligence emerges as both a risk and opportunity Despite optimism about the finance sector, students harbour significant concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential disruption. While a vast majority (87 per cent) express confidence in their AI literacy, nearly three-quarters (73 per cent) fear AI could negatively impact their career ambitions and make it harder to find a job. Canadian students strongly recognize that AI skills are vital for career advancement. The survey indicates 35 per cent believe AI competencies will significantly enhance their job market prospects, outpacing traditional skills such as learning a foreign language (23 per cent). Indeed, 64 per cent of respondents prioritize soft skills (such as communication and collaboration) and quantitative skills (49 per cent) as the most critical factor for career advancement, far above connections (35 per cent), internships (34 per cent), academic grades (26 per cent), or the prestige of their university (25 per cent). Commenting on the findings, Michael Thom, CFA, Managing Director, CFA Societies Canada, said, "I'm glad to see that Canadian students and recent graduates are proactively seeking to equip themselves with specialized skills, particularly in AI which is fast becoming essential in the finance sector. In fact, half of Canadian respondents said they would be more interested in a job if it offers AI training. And 96 per cent recognize that upskilling, professional, or post-graduate qualifications will be essential to their future career success.' 'This drive and eagerness to continue building skillsets is exciting to see from Canada's next generation of professionals, especially as adoption of AI continues to proliferate across industries in Canada, and the need for the next generation to be drivers of Canadian growth. AI literacy is becoming a non-negotiable skill in entry-level professional roles across Canada, and those who are able to combine their technical competence with interpersonal skills will be well suited to succeed in building their careers to meet the future. We are committed to helping these young professionals bolster their skills throughout each step of their careers with our education programs and research.' What are graduates seeking in their careers? Salary remains the primary career driver for Canadian graduates (56 per cent), though benefits and flexible working arrangements are also highly valued (54 per cent and 50 per cent, respectively). The evolving approach to career guidance also marks a generational shift, with students in Canada increasingly consulting professors (40 per cent), social media platforms (33 per cent), and influencers (27 per cent) for career insights. The next generation prefers trusted human advisors, but other options are available The findings also emphasize crucial implications for financial service providers seeking to engage effectively with the next generation, specifically the continued importance of trust in financial guidance, with 92 per cent of Canadian graduates placing the highest trust in human financial advisors for sound financial advice. Graduates showed substantial reliance on other resources, including friends and family (88 per cent), and online financial education (79 per cent). Comparatively, they are less likely to trust technology-first advice, with only 67 per cent turning to AI assistants like Chat GPT followed by robo-advisors (64 per cent) and social media and influencers (62 per cent). Financial security remains paramount, with 52 per cent of Canadian respondents citing financial peace of mind as their primary motivation for wealth-building. The next generation seeks long-term financial security and thinks that solid financial planning (57 per cent) and understanding of the markets (54 per cent) will help them achieve their financial goals.
