Thousands of Canadians sign petition to "revoke Elon Musk's citizenship"
2025-02-23 15:44:30 / BOTA
Thousands of people have electronically signed a parliamentary petition calling for the revocation of Elon Musk's Canadian citizenship for his role in Donald Trump's administration, which is significantly threatening Canada's sovereignty.
New Democratic Party MP Charlie Angus, an outspoken critic of Musk, is sponsoring the petition, which had more than 34,000 signatures from across Canada by Saturday evening, foreign media wrote, according to the Telegraph.
Musk is a native of South Africa, but he has Canadian citizenship through his Regina-born mother.
The petition says Musk, a billionaire businessman and advisor to US President Donald Trump, has engaged in activities that conflict with Canada's national interest.
Trump has threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products and has openly "proposed" that Canada become the 51st state, drawing the ire of millions of Canadians.
The petition calls on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to strip Musk of his citizenship – as well as take away his Canadian passport.
An electronic petition must have 500 or more signatures to receive certification for presentation in the House of Commons, opening the door for an official government response.
The House of Commons is scheduled to resume session on March 24, but many expect a general election to be called before MPs return to work.
