More than 280,000 Canadians have signed a petition asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to strip tech mogul Elon Musk of his Canadian citizenship for acting against Canada’s national interest.

Launched on February 20, the parliamentary petition claims that Musk, the head of United States President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, has “become a member of a foreign government that is attempting to erase Canadian sovereignty”.

It also accuses him of being “engaged in activities that go against the national interest of Canada” and using his “wealth and power to influence [Canadian] elections”.

Musk, the world’s richest man, holds South African, US, and Canadian passports ­– the latter of which he gained through his Canadian-born mother.

Let's start one here! Maybe we can get him deported.....

1. Except that they cannot take away his citizenship because

It was not obtained by fraud. His Mom is Canadian so….
You should be doing this in the US where he actually did obtain his citizenship through fraud.

2. Maybe they have

different requirements in Canada. I don't know what theirs are. I think there was something about Rafaelito Cruz's too.

3. Cruz was born here to American parents.

He gave up his Canadian citizenship and we have never considered him Canadian. I wish Musk would do the same, we don’t want him either.

4. Nope

Born 12/22/70 at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, Alberta, CANADA. Whether or not his parents were American is irrelevant, he DID have Canadian citizenship at one time and had to renounce it. Had the Canadians known it they probably would have thrown him out anyway.

5. Yes I am a Canadian living in Calgary

6. Should have made that clear

You didn't.

7. The fact that I said you, in the US should be doing this

Pretty much tells you.
