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 don’t get the point and effort on this whole not putting effort into making shit posts. That one AI video of Trump licking Musk’s feed did more in 2 minutes then a petition with 200,000 signatures can.

    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.

      Canada can do whatever it wants with it’s citizens, just like the US can deport their own citizens to Guantanamo or Salvador so they can not be protected by their constitutional rights.

      It’s called sovereignty.

    While I don’t think it’s possible to revoke his citizenship it might be possible to try him for treason against ‘his’ country.

    If I were the Queen of America, I would have Elon tried for treason, I’d also have ICE remove everyone from their detention centers but not close it completely, they’d now have the job of Violating the fuck out of Elon’s 8th Amendment rights.

    I dont like musk, but revoking citizenship is a slippery slope that we should not go down. It will become political very quickly where if the government doesn’t like someone because they don’t agree with them then they have that avenue.

    Musk is terrible but this move doesn’t do much against him and it only hurts the future for others.

      I see your point but a government not liking someone vs a government protecting themselves against a credible threat are different things. Musk has shown that he has the ability to severely damage democratic systems, what other regular citizen has that kind of power?

        Yeah but the government is known for abusing their power. They could just as easily use this against someone who becomes the leader of a civil rights organizations whose organizing people and protesting or striking for workers. They’ll just claim they’re dangerous and strip them of citizenship.

      Why is this downvoted? This is a valid argument. Revoking citizenship because we don’t like them? Seriously? Either this whole thing is a joke and I don’t get it or we have some 150k nationalistic anti-democracy radicals signing this.

      While reducing his sources of income will hurt him a little bit, unfortunately Starlink is very appealing to militaries and emergency services. Being able to access the internet is great for morale in the navy, and mission critical for plenty of emergency services. This is particularly true in Australia where we have vast unpopulated areas with very patchy phone coverage, let alone bandwidth for data services. I know some services are installing starlink as emergency backups for stations and in forward command vehicles. They’ll be paying the big bucks for Starlink.

      Talking about musk is how he really gets his power.

      I think the only solution is to excommunicate him and deny any suggestion made by people who support him.

      If it involves musk, it should be a no-go from the get-go.

    I am hoping that he is marked as treasonous. The sooner that members of Yarvin’s Cabal end up on wanted posters throughout the world, the better.

    Anyone really think the government who welcomed, then gave a standing ovation to a Nazi cares what another Nazi is doing?

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