There's no legal path to revoking Musk's citizenship.
Trump wanted to revoke the citizenship of people he didn't like too, why is this any better?
There’s no legal path to revoking Musk’s citizenship.
Apparently, there are a few (SOURCE):
- He's a national security threat.
- He's taking part in treason.
- "Acts of disloyalty or misconduct against Canada may also trigger revocation proceedings."
Musk is an active enemy of this country, and is taking part at a government level with power to cause harm to this country.
It's our duty to do something.
Interesting. My understanding was that bill C-6 in 2017 removed all of these except for the "fraudulent application" reasons for revoking citizenship, and fraudulent application wouldn't apply here since Musk's Canadian by birth.
Still, "lots of people signed a petition" is not listed as a valid reason in either source.

Charlie Angus says different.

While I wish Musk wasn’t a Canadian citizen, I don’t think we should set a precedent for stripping citizenship from Canadians
Repeating my comment from the other thread I saw about this survey:
I would rather he be prosecuted for treason, though I acknowledge that would require us to already be at war with the US (so he could be shown to be aiding the enemy). Too many innocent people (especially activists) could be affected by the precedent this would set-- especially the next time a Conservative government comes to power, though I could even see the Liberal Party mirroring Europe’s recent police harassment of Palestinian-friendly journalists if not Trump’s deportations of activists for Palestinians’ human rights that Poilièvre would likely copy. Despite seeing myself as Canadian all of my life and being here for decades, I already feel less safe in this country, considering rising fascist sentiments like these out there. I’m not eligible for citizenship in the country of my birth either. I know the backlash from just stripping him of his citizenship outright would be directed to people like me.
Any measure used to remove the rights of one repugnant wealthy person introduces a needless threat to politically inconvenient non-wealthy people.
Petitions like these are why I'm glad the government doesn't listen to petitions. Who does this help? What does this accomplish? It's asinine and petty. I really don't want citizenship to depend on upvotes.
Despite how poorly thought out this one seems to be, I don't think all petitions are bad. They're just a check on how popular an idea is. Obviously there should be further research and input from experts before anything a successful petition supports can happen. For example, there's probably a compelling case experts could make for the public interest in relation to another petition I saw referenced on here recently.
Maybe illegally revoking the citizenship of people we don't like is a bad thing?
The sort of thing they want to do?
TIL Musk has Canadian citizenship
It’s at 173k! Gosh!
