A parliamentary petition collects more than 231,000 signatures to withdraw Canadian nationality from Elon Musk

Remove Canadian nationality from Elon Musk. This is the aim of a parliamentary petition launched by a resident of British Columbia (Canada) named Qualia Reed and supported by Democratic MP Charlie Angus, known to be an opponent of Donald Trump.

She does not spare the boss of Tesla, who is accused of having “engaged in activities that go against Canada’s national interest” and “to use her wealth and power to influence Our elections ”, according to the description of this petition signed by more than 231,370 people this Tuesday morning.

This petition launched on February 20 also recalls that Elon Musk has “become a member of a foreign government which is trying to erase Canadian sovereignty”. In recent weeks, Donald Trump has continued to recall his desire to annex Canada to make it the 51st American state. In his recent statements, he was sure to qualify the Canadian resigning Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “governor”, in reference to the head of the executive of a state of the United States.

In which case can Canadian citizenship be revoked?

“We, undersigned, citizens of Canada, ask the Prime Minister to revoke the status of double citizenship of Elon Musk and to revoke his Canadian passport with immediate effect,” concludes the petition.

As the Canadian CTV News television recalls, Canadian citizenship can be revoked in certain circumstances, especially in the event of fraud, if a person makes a false statement or knowingly hides information on a request for immigration or citizenship . If citizenship is revoked, the person must wait ten years from the date of revocation to obtain citizenship again, specifies the Ministry of Immigration and Citizenship.
