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.
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 realy want to belive this to be true, but I have to ask for a source on this one.
I don’t blame you, because what the fuck lol: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_N._Haldeman
Thanks. And wow… Just… Wow.
There’s a two parter behind the bastards that also goes into this

Grad student: You can also look up a source. It’s real easy these days, with the little supercomputers in all our pockets.
Upvoting under the assumption that this was /s
Grad student says what the deleted comment said. So yes.

infinity plus one
d’oh!
I forgot he had Canadian citizenship, I wonder if any Republicans have enough of a spine to pressure him into relinquishing it.
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.
Why?
Managing optics. Like quitting before they have a chance to fire you kind of thing.
How does that help manage optics though?
Looks less weak.
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
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
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.
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
Charlie Angus wrote about why he’s helping to push this through, giving valid legal reasons why it should be done. Seeing as he’s a current MP in Canada’s parliament I’ll believe him before I believe you.

…Especially since the alternative could be just charging him with treason or something.
The gov’t doesn’t have to charge him with treason to revoke his citizenship. They only have to prove that he committed it.
And then give the US a reason to retaliate against Canada…
“Oh no, how do we make sure Diet Hitler stays a Canadian citizen?”
Wtf is your thought process, my dude?
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.
Musk has dual citizenship, revoking his Canadian citizenship would not make him stateless.
Well then Chuck him out on his ass
Yup. South Africa (birth), Canada (through his mother) and America.
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
While I don’t think it’s possible to revoke his citizenship it might be possible to try him for treason against ‘his’ country.
There is precedent to revoke his citizenship.
In the 1980s, there was another extremist who used his international media platform to spew hate and disinformation. His name was Ernst Zundel. He continually laughed at Canada’s laws against hate speech. He was ultimately jailed and then deported from our country.
(FYI Charlie Angus is a Member of Parliament in Canada.)

Edit to fix word
(FYI Charlie Angus is a Minister of Parliament in Canada.)
Member of Parliament. He’s a part of the NDP opposition party. Ministers are heads of ministries, which are like departments, and ministers have traditionally been from the governing party.
You’re right. My bad.
Por qué no los dos?
Why do a lot of you do this nonsense. You’re swinging for the fences and play right into the hands of the right when you put all your effort into comments like “he can be tried for treason” just swing lower and stop the dramatics. He can be tried for being a piece of shit. He can be tried for all the hormone therapy he’s done. He can be tried for being a billionaire and still banging only 4s
Will Canada adopt me so I can sign the petition as well?

It’s the proof that Canada is hiding Nazis, it must be invaded!
Please don’t give us any ideas
In an ironic twist of 2025 that nobody saw coming, all of Putin’s “the bad guys are nazis!” rhetoric is no longer propaganda
At just over 179k signatures now.Now at over 183k.187k+190k+ (seems to be speeding up)Just over 200k now!Almost 208k. About 5000 per hr signing.
Do it Canada! Do not hesitate.
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.
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.
Oh, Elon is a real Nazi alright. No doubt about that.
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.
There are alternatives.
How often do petitions actually affect change? I feel like I see petitions being mentioned a lot, but rarely do I see change as a reult. It feels like they are just another form of “thoughts and prayers”. You feel like you’re contributing something, but a few days go by and the collective amnesia sets in.
If anything its just another data mine for the political beliefs of potential dissidents. And before you say anything, yes, I am this much fun at parties as well

How often do petitions actually affect change?
Never. The government lists 3,319 total petitions and the most popular one has 387,487 signatures which is less than 1% of the population. The petition was to call an early election. I would hope the government doesn’t dissolve itself every time less than 1% of people upvote a post.
Can Americans sign this petition also?
It’s nearly impossible to relinquish your own citizenship, how many people is it gonna take to take someone else’s citizenship?
It would only take one, actually.
Don’t care, still want to sign it.
Vox populi vox Dei
You know it’s serious because they didn’t even say “sorry.”
