Parliamentary petition launched due to billionaire’s link to Trump, who has repeatedly threatened to conquer Canada

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.

    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

          Joins ISIS

          Nobody will ever let her into their country again

          The jokes write themselves sometimes.
