It is simply wrong to weaponize citizenship whether it is Trump or a bunch of ignorant Canadians doing it.
Regardless of how you feel about it, Musk is “half Canadian”.
The thing we should be doing is in the article, not wasting time on debating citizenship rights. We can decide we don’t allow dual citizenship anymore and make everyone choose to be Canadian or not. He also has facilities in Canada, and tax obligations, we can go after. All of which would be far more productive than violating the rights that legally defines one as Canadian in the first place.
The fact that a petition to not allow Trump into Canada is a foot note, with less signatures than a petition to remove citizenship at whim, is horrifying.
There is nothing at all wrong with people wanting someone who wants to actually destroy Canada to no longer have citizenship. It seems very reasonable to me that wanting to destroy a country should cause you to lose citizenship for that country. It’s not a high bar.
Laws change. And how you ask? It starts exactly this way. Go do something constructive instead of trying to be the speech police bud.
There is a lot wrong with it, mainly the fact that we have laws for citizens who do such things. Which ignorant Canadians are unaware of. It only seems reasonable when one does not know what “Treason” is. Look it up before assuming your low bar is relevant.
Go do something constructive like learning Canadian Law before getting involved in conversations about it friend.
