Vancouver International Auto Show removes Tesla, citing safety concerns at event
Tesla has been removed from participating in this week's Vancouver International Auto Show over safety concerns, the event's executive director says.
Eric Nicholl said in a statement Tuesday that the show asked the electric carmaker to withdraw because of a "primary concern" for the safety of workers, attendees and exhibitors.
Nicholl said Tesla was provided “multiple opportunities to voluntarily withdraw.”
"This decision will ensure all attendees can be solely focused on enjoying the many positive elements of the event," the statement said.
The automaker's removal comes after so-called "Tesla Takedown" protests on the weekend, including in Ottawa and Metro Vancouver, that denounced Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his role advising U.S. President Donald Trump.
About two dozen protesters had gathered outside a Tesla dealership in Surrey, B.C., on Sunday, the day after a similar protest in Vancouver, holding signs with messages including "elbows up," "Elon be-gone" and "democracy dies in apathy."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
