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?
Apparently, there are a few (SOURCE):
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.
I'm pretty sure the portion of the Act that site refers to was repealed in 2017.
Canadian citizens who (are alleged to) have committed treason should be tried under to Canadian law, and there's no reason to invent loopholes to avoid having to put someone on trial.
Should we wait before or after we become part of the States to make that determination? He and his lap dog are actively working to annex this country.
"We don't have time to put people on trial" is not a take I'm prepared to get behind.
And even if it were...how would revoking his citizenship change any of what you just described?
The petition is purely symbolic, and I don't think his citizenship will ever be stripped (any time soon).
To that point, what's happening in the States, specifically as it relates to wanting to annex Canada and robbing other countries of their resources through means of extortion, we really are running out of time to get things under control.
The Nazis dismantled Germany's democracy in under 2 months, and Trump/Musk are speed running their way there. Once all guardrails are removed, there really is little to stop them from moving forward with their plans to hurt Canada in whatever way they like.
In that light, Musk is a current threat to our national interests and security, so a multi-year trial would be as effective as all those felony trials Trump basically ran the clock on.
Slow moving legal systems don't work against people who are above the law.
Not to advocate for extrajudicial justice, moreso saying that you shouldn't give literal genocidal oligarch fascists an inch more leeway than you'd afford the common criminal. They'll take that inch of rope and strangle you with it.
Whereas stripping him of his citizenship would accomplish nothing at all.
I don't think people have really thought through what is symbolic of.
