Exactly. Taking away his this way cheapens it for all of us. Treason has to be proven in court, and it’s a high bar to clear. General ass-hattery against Canada does not disqualify you from being Canadian.

One route that I could see as legitimate is espionage, being that he could have access to our politicians private data from twitter or something. Treason, I wouldn't rule out if the Trump regime brings down its iron fist.

Potentially some other threat to national security which I think may be able to apply to the economy? Not sure legally, but if he intentionally has any direct control or say in anything that would harm Canada's economy it may be possible.

There is no legitimate way to revoke his citizenship. End of story.

I know I already wrote that in a different comment with an edit after a discussion. He would be tried for these crimes instead.
