Summary

A Canadian parliamentary petition to revoke Elon Musk’s citizenship has gathered over 150,000 signatures.

Launched by author Qualia Reed and sponsored by MP Charlie Angus, the petition accuses Musk of undermining Canada’s sovereignty due to his ties to Trump, who has repeatedly suggested annexing Canada.

Musk is a Canadian citizen through his mother. The petition will be presented to the House of Commons, which resumes on March 24.

    I forgot he had Canadian citizenship, I wonder if any Republicans have enough of a spine to pressure him into relinquishing it.

      I’ve been saying that since Elon came out as a lover of orange mushrooms, that Trump will somehow sell him birthright citizenship. But the theory thst the whole annex Canada shit solves that issue is intriguing.

      Let’s not get too hasty there. Canada should focus on finding an extraditable offense for this Canadian citizen. I doubt the US will extradite him, but others may. It sounds like Canada could make it hard for elon to travel if they tried.

    Is this like a reality TV show where we can simply vote people off the island country?

    I personally know the dudes an immigrant, likely has applied for citizenship in places other then south Africa. He will always be an immigrant. He will never get the stink of not belonging here off him. I do not feel this way about other immigrants.

    Why? Lol just because you hate Trump? He’s not even living in Canada lol and that sets a dangerous precedent anyway. Pretty stupid and childish just because Trump called Canada the 51st state lmao

    Here’s a deal. We will take Musk if the Toronto Maple Leafs win the cup this year.
