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.
Elon Musk’s mother is Canadian.
There is no legal precedent for revoking citizenship like this. Why is this any better than Trump’s push to revoke citizenship for immigrants that he doesn’t like? There are better ways to handle this.
How many people commit treason for there to be any precedent
Because he is standing alongside Trump trying to make Canada part of the US.
IANAL, but that sounds like Canadian Treason. Revoking citizenship is the nicer way to handle it. That’s a hangin’ down here.
From up here, it looks like treason is rewarded with the highest office and immunity from all consequence 🧐
Touché.
And Trump would likely claim that the immigrants whose birthright citizenship he wants to revoke are “invading” the US.
I’m not saying that Elon Musk isn’t awful. I’m saying that revoking his citizenship isn’t the right way to deal with that. It’s not even legal to do so it’s a moot question to begin with.
We can’t simply disavow Canadian citizens like that. If a Canadian citizen does something awful then we should do something about it. Put out a warrant for whatever it is he’s up to. If you think he’s a traitor, check the laws on treason and see if he qualifies for an actual charge.
Canada does not have the death penalty.
Lol. “Use the laws against him!” Good idea 🙄 Its not like money buys politicians and judges and freedom in basically any place on earth when you have that much of it /s
Btw I don’t know anyone who refers to Canada as “down here”. Pretty sure they mean the US.
What, you’re suggesting an “extrajudicial” revoking of his citizenship, then? How would that work? Why is that remotely a good idea? A government that ignores laws and just does whatever comes to mind is exactly the problem here.
Yes, obviously. I’m pointing out a significant difference between the two countries.
