**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.

Or maybe don't ruin millions of people's lives? From what I understand Canada does have this sort of legal process for exiling people

More like there’s systems in place to prevent countries from creating a stateless person, who would have no rights anywhere.

Just because it sounds nice to happen to people you don’t agree with, it’s still something that shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

Dunno, stateless in a refugee camp currently as Bangladesh won't let her in either. Think I'd opt for keeping a low profile in Britain instead, change name, get the hair dye and sunglasses on and move to a shitty wee town somewhere

She didn't have the passport at that time, while musk has probably a bunch of them stashed away. What the British did was directly going against the UDHR, but musk can suck it.

Probably did her a favour not letting her back.

Not seen such a prominent figure of hate since Cat Bin Lady.

Sadly, it is. Britain did it a few years ago to some kid that joined IS. She held rights to a passport to a country that she had never been even visited and that was enough for the Home Office to yank her British one.

A pretty tragic tale imo

"Oh no, how do we make sure Diet Hitler stays a Canadian citizen?"

Wtf is your thought process, my dude?

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.

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.

From his own mouth:

but my father also had a share in an Emerald mine in Zambia.

I realy want to belive this to be true, but I have to ask for a source on this one.

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

In like the 1940s Elon Musk's grandfather was a chiropractor in Regina, Saskatchewan and was arrested by the RCMP for being a central figure in an organization that was trying to overthrow the government and install a technocracy. I'm not kidding.

After that is when he fucked off to South Africa to partake in the Apartheid.

I would be surprised if this sort of thing was possible and I'm pretty sure it's not and im pretty sure it's a good thing that it's not

Add mine to the total.

Stop buying Teslas

Don't use his internet service that pollutes the night sky

Just a big thumbs down to this pseudo nazi.

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.
