ResidentialBusiness Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 Elon Musk is in a lot of hot water with our Canadian neighbors to the north. A parliamentary petition with over 192,000 signatures and climbing is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to revoke Musk’s Canadian citizenship and passport for threatening Canada’s sovereignty by “engaging in activities that go against the national interest.” Author Qualia Reed launched the petition in Canada’s House of Commons, where it was sponsored by parliamentary member Charlie Angus over the weekend, as reported by the Canadian Press. Musk was born in South Africa, but obtained Canadian citizenship in 1989 through his mother (Maye Musk was born in Saskatchewan). The SpaceX CEO and current adviser to President Trump then went on to become a U.S. citizen in 2002. Like a growing number of Americans, many Canadians seem to have had enough of Musk’s alliance with Trump and his interference at the highest levels of American government. The two have angered Canadians by threatening to slap high tariffs on goods from our longtime trading partner and ally, along with Trump’s outrageous calls to make Canada our 51st state. The petition launched on February 20 remains open to signatures until June 20. It not only calls on Trudeau to “revoke Elon Musk’s dual citizenship status,” but also to “revoke his Canadian passport effective immediately.” The electronic petition has surpassed the 500 signatures necessary for presentation to the House of Commons to garner a formal government response.
