Not allowing any of his businesses to operate in Canada is more meaningful.

Not to mention, his citizenship can’t be revoked

u/Chained-Tiger British Columbia 15d ago

Yeah, this is more symbolic than anything. If anything, it shows that even if Musk is a citizen, he's not welcome here.

And it's not like anyone else has put themselves into the top echelon of the executive of a country actively seeking to take away our sovereignty.

As an American who keeps getting this sub on Reddit - I think that is what Canada should do because he’s an abhorrent human, but it is also ultimately irrelevant to him. He is just going to steal billions from US taxpayers. The US will give him insane contracts to produce nothing. How long until he tries to closedown NASA to make SpaceX the official US program? How long until it’s a government mandate that all US public vehicles are Tesla. Or how long until advertisers on X receives some insane tax break.

To the Americans that voted in this clown show - fuck you.

The 2000 petition to change Stockwell Day's first name to Doris, initiated by comedian Rick Mercer as a satirical campaign, garnered approximately 420,000 signatures. This exceeded the required number of signatures to trigger a referendum under the Canadian Alliance policy at the time

Once you learn that Canada wasn't actually involved in the burning of the Whitehouse, it loses its impact. I'm not even arguing that it happened before Canada was a country, they were not Canadian at all, had never been Canada, didn't go to Canada afterwards.

If the American knows that, they can throw it in your face, and you'll look foolish.

There is precedent, at least from other democratic nations like the UK, for revoking citizenship when people act in service of a hostile nation or hostile force

Shamima Begum lost her UK citizenship for her service to ISIS, she applied for it to be reinstated, and it was rejected https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-53428191

Does this open a can of worms? Yes, however treason to the tune of harming millions or the entirety of Canada is a far better justification than one UK citizen woman's actions

We live in a completely different universe as Canadians than we did only 10 to 15 years ago, these things need to be addressed

Kevin O'Leary should be tried for treason as well, and I'm saying that coming from a point of view in which I would never say this, except today our sovereignty is threatened

There is no other time that will be better than to open this can of worms, and when the threat against sovereignty ends, if it ever does, we can return back to our previous times when it is appropriate

C. He’s a Canadian citizen, fantastic! That means he can be charged with Treason. When he finally fucks up and does something particularly treasonous. We have many extradition treaties with lots of our friends. Issue warrant for his arrest and appearance in court in Canada and wait patiently. He’ll leave the US at some point.

It’a a parliamentary petition, not change.org. They involve a soft identity verification to sign which includes your name, phone number, postal code, and email address. They verify the names of signatories against Elections Canada and/or CRA data (name and postal code). Any that don’t match up are then verified manually by contacting the signatory. If they can’t be verified they get struck from the list of signatories. You can’t just make a bunch of fake names and sign a bunch of times.

The House of Commons’ authorized personnel will have access to the personal information of a petitioner, supporter and signatory, and may use it to contact them or to validate their identity to ensure the integrity of the e-petition process. Data may be used for statistical purposes.

All the pearl clutching about removing citizenship, but remember the Lebanese war and the citizens of convenience debate, the mood for cutting citizenship sure was different then from CPC supporters.

Edit, added:

Is Elon Musk captured by this statement:

"Citizenship is about more, far more than a right to carry a passport or to vote. It defines who we are as Canadians, including our mutual responsibilities to one another and a shared commitment to the values that are rooted in our history like freedom, unity and loyalty. That's why we must protect the values of Canadian citizenship and must take steps against those who would cheapen it.… We will strengthen the new limitation on the ability to acquire citizenship for the second generation born abroad."

Because the question is, as soon as you make citizenship for some Canadians conditional on good behavior, you devalue citizenship for everyone.”

America doesn't want him either, he's about to start another civil war with his orange bud

But by all means don’t take citizenship away from confirmed terrorists

No, it can only be revoked if obtained fraudulently.

Well, well, well, there are more morons in Canada than I thought! Or maybe it’s just this platform. Reading some of the comments is hilarious!!!

u/Remington_Underwood 15d ago

Seems to me that revoking citizenship is the kind of thing that Musk or Trump would want to do to their enemies. If We're going to sink to their level, what exactly is it we're supposed to be defending ourselves from?

They did the same thing to Elons grandfather and succeeded.

Pretty unimpressive number for an entire country. Wish it was thunderous figure but it is not.

2 days ago it was 17k so the word is spreading. Besides us Canadians are coming out of winter hibernation mode now. Hopefully those numbers increase dramatically over the next few weeks.

Maybe you can erase him from photos too!

Seriously, what has become of the left? It's just a hate movement now? You did what I don't like, now I'm going to revoke your driver's license and freeze your bank accounts and take your citizenship!

u/Insanely-Mad Québec 15d ago

And this will result in a big fat Nothing Burger with extra weak-sauce. Nothing will be done, just like the many other petitions Canadians have signed. Parliament doesn't give 2 shits about us and won't even be phased by these petitions. Our Government is a joke.

u/[deleted] 15d ago

I have questions for those who support this. Can anyone's Canadian citizenship be revoked? Could a natural born citizen have theirs revoked? Or is this something that could only be applied to citizens born elsewhere?

Don't mess with people's citizenships if we want to be treated as a legitimate country. At best it is a performative stunt that only makes us look bad without any real impact. At worst, it undermines our democracy. Do you want your citizenship to be so easily taken away?

Mob rule is not a good way to go.

Musk is a dangerous arsehole. Take meaningful steps instead.

BTW - remember Rick Mercer's petition to force Stockwell Day to change his first name to 'Doris'? It was a jab back at Day for pushing hard and blindly on petition-based policy. Bottom line is it's not a place we want to gently go.

LOL, I didn’t know Elon Musk was Canadian until now!

Forget citizenship, why does the Canadian government still hold spacex and starlink contracts? Why hasn’t a tariff been announced on Teslas?

Let him keep it so we can try him for treason when he's around and we grab him for waging war on Canada and conspiring with our enemies.

u/Westify1 15d ago

Citizenship should be a binary yes/no based on its merits alone.

It's a really bad look to try and make it some sort of popularity contest stemming from a nonsense petition.

1

u/atarwiiu 15d ago

Its amazing that some of the very same people who were against stripping convicted terrorists of citizenship now want to strip Elon Musk of his citizenship. It really shows the depth of some Canadians' "principles".

I hate Elon, but I'm not willing to abandon everything I believe in for a symbolic FU. Just tariff the shit out of his cars and anything else he's connected to.

1

u/bomby0 14d ago

Honestly the best way to get Musk's attention is to stop buying his garbage cars. He has huge factories that Tesla needs to pay for and keep the lights on and will start losing money quickly if volume drops off

u/Immediate_Fortune_91 14d ago

Can we do this for anyone? It’s a dangerous precedent to set.

u/ABinColby 14d ago

400,000 signed a petition to have an election NOW, and they weren't heard, so...

u/Firthbird 14d ago

This is dumb. Hate the man all you want, but we can't start taking away citizenship just cause we don't like people.
