Canada supports you! Time to own the oligarchs it’s time !

Jane in NC's avatar

We support Canada, too! And thank you very much for the awesome petition to revoke Musk's Canadian citizenship. That's a boss move, right there!

Kris Sand's avatar

You bet I signed it! Remember they will try and divide us we won’t let that happen! Let’s see a million protesters outside Maralago. You want to see a fat raping pig panic! The time to rise up is now! American, Canadian and Mexican people will not bend to tyranny .

Patricia Reed's avatar

A massive protest at Lago, where the FLOTUS resides, is a lovely idea.

SMB's avatar

Especially in the STATE of FLORIDA, where the RIGHTS of WE/the people are being desecrated by their Governor, Ron DeSantis!!

Wearing shoe lifters doesn't make him a tall man, in fact it's quite the opposite. A small wanna be dictator is weak and so insecure, the worst Govenor Fla has ever elected.

Where do I find this petition. I want to sign it.

Kris Sand's avatar

Charlie Angus the resistance . Subscribe and away you go !

Richard Hudson's avatar

I signed it at 500 names. Last I looked there were over 50,000. Now I need to take a look at the number. My guess it will be well over 100k.

Dorothy Layman's avatar

But Canada really revoke Musk’s citizenship?? Who makes the decision regarding that?

Janice Mac's avatar

From what I have read it is not that easy to revoke someone's Canadian citizenship. That being said before the government could move to do this, they would need to introduce legislation and there would have to be amendments to the current Citizenship Act. That means the Canadian government needs to get off their ass and do it immediately. He is a threat to our country just like he is to the U.S. and there is nothing stopping him from coming for us next because Trump has made it very clear we should be the 51 state. We also need to make sure the government is working diligently to reinforce security for our upcoming elections. Pierre Poilievre parrots many things that Trump spews and he does not hold our Canadian values and is not fit to be the next PM. We need to make sure he does not get into power or we will be the 51st state.

Kris Sand's avatar

It’s more of a statement then anything.

Heather Hay Charron 🇨🇦's avatar

I’ve signed that and another one which seeks to ban Trump from entering Canada for any reason. We do not permit the entry of felons without special dispensation. This petition seeks to not provide special dispensation.

Jane in NC's avatar

OMG! Canadians are the BEST! The Trump travel ban is *chef's kiss*! 🇨🇦🍁❤️

Ruth's avatar

Love it! Fellow Canadian 🇨🇦

Suseky's avatar

He seems to have people come to him these days 🙄

KarennothatKaren's avatar

I've signed the Musk one, but did not know about Trump not entering Canada (my home too). Is it C Angus initiating that too? And is it on the same link as Musk's petition?

Patrice Mobley's avatar

A convicted felon shouldn't be allowed in another country. Everything is transactional with IT!😆 I won't call him a human.

MJean's avatar

Jane, you are welcome. We don’t want musk lurking around in our country. He’s a sicko. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Daniel Solomon's avatar

Where I live, Baghdad By the Sea, we have more Canadians than entire Canadian provinces...... many have dual citizenship.

martin woyzeck's avatar

Isn't it San Francisco that's been called Baghdad by the Sea?

And is there anything wrong with having many Canadians in a

community ?

LJ's avatar

We are likely unable to actually do it. It is more symbolic and letting our government know we want them to defy Musk. The legal wrangling to actually revoke the passport may be impossible to prove. What is more possible is the 100% tariff on Teslas. Sales have been huge since 2020, but have dropped 70% late 2024 (due to the ev vehicle rebate cancellation). Teslas themselves have become far less popular due to Musk. Their prices increased at the beginning of the year so a tariff could be the death knell (awwww)

Jane in NC's avatar

Whether the actual citizenship revocation can be accomplished or not, it's still important to make your voices heard on Musk. I suspect your government will be more responsive than ours is likely to be. The 100% tariffs on Teslas is great idea. Much of Musk's wealth is based on how well Tesla does.

LJ's avatar

the petition is growing exponentially every hour. Stunning the creator and sponsor

Jane in NC's avatar

That's music to my ears!

Suseky's avatar

Thanks, Musk and Maga have done enough damage to our political system over the past several years and continue to bully and degrade our country. Just glad a lot more are finally seeing things as they are. Hope to prevent a similar outcome here.

MARY T. ENOS's avatar

Jane: I just came across this information regarding signing the petition to revoke that jerk's Canadian citizenship..Is that on line somewhere? I have not seen anything. Thank you.

SMB's avatar

I signed it as I am a Canadian citizen born in Canada but living in the states for most of my life.

What is happening here in the states is a disgrace to our Country, the Constitution, the Rule of Law, our Allies etc…..

KarennothatKaren's avatar

Thanks for this. Oh this is the one for Musk. Did sign this. Trying to find the one for Trump's travel ban.

Patricia Reed's avatar

We have to stay here and fight for our country. Moral support from Canada helps immensely.

Kris Sand's avatar

It’s important to realize Canadians and Americans are under attack from these billionaire robber barons that’s what they are.

Patrice Mobley's avatar

Agree, it's for our future generations.

I will not be convinced that the election was not rigged by musk. There is something fishy about the felon winning all 7 swing states, but only winning the popular vote by 1.5%. It’s statistically very improbable, if not impossible.

SMB's avatar

Thom Hartmann and Greg Palast have presented a very compelling case on how our election was corrupted by voter suppression.

This video summarizes it nicely. I also read Greg Palast very detailed breakdown of his data which is vast & detailed.

This information needs to be passed onto all the social media platforms!

https://youtu.be/0LN65qFUDDo

Sharon C Storm's avatar

I’ve also seen that video and read the Greg Palast article. The truth will eventually come out, it always does.

Punkette's avatar

Agree, Sharon, it stinks! Nathan from Election Truth Alliance talks about that improbability in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3l8vWfaFVMU

Sharon C Storm's avatar

That video seems to me to be a possible scam. I’ve watched it a couple of times, and it seems a little too amateur to me.

Patrice Mobley's avatar

100%, the convicted felon said he wasn't concerned about losing and it was already fixed. He's an illegitimate President.

Mike Hammer's avatar

Canada has no idea how many of us "down south" love and respect your country and its diverse people. We greatly appreciate those of you who know not all of us voted for nor respect the man in our White House. Please don't give up on us.

Kris Sand's avatar

Trump and his sycophants are flooding the zone trying to demoralize the population . Trump is a moron 300 million people need to flood his zone. I’m calling on All Canadians Americans and Mexicans to shut down Facebook and fox news . Delete your Facebook accounts protest at Fox News and Facebook . Let these people know we won’t tolerate lies and propaganda. Let’s send Zuckerberg a big message make Facebook go dark March 4 , 2025. We can’t let Trump suppress the media he must be stopped are all costs. Support responsible media !

LJ's avatar

God I wish there was a decent alternative to FB. I hate zuck and his bending over. It's easy to boycott amazon, tesla, starlink even apple, but I communicate with friends over fb and the groups have been invaluable to me medically, artistically and locally. I just don't know where to be able to find these communities elsewhere. If only someone came up with an equivalent without the bots and algorithms, I would even pay a monthly subscription, like youtube or spotify for it. That will be much arder for me to give up. There are many rolling boycotts planned over the next month...of walmart, amazon, and other american businesses.

Janice Mac's avatar

Bluesky is growing like crazy. Look it up. I just joined.

Patrice Mobley's avatar

Try Tribal an alternative to other scared social media sites.

Susan Raquel's avatar

Check out Craigslist. There are many forums there and you can make your own forum, that is not public, for you and your friends.

Susan Raquel's avatar

If you have problems figuring out how to make your own forum click on History. On the right side of History is a blurb that says Conspiracy. Click on that. That is where I usually post. I, or one of the other posters, will tell you how to find an empty forum that you can take over.

Patrice Mobley's avatar

I love that idea but, I don't do Facebook nor Faux Propaganda Network, CNN, MSNBC they are all afraid of peek a boo. Passing this on!

Yvelyse Santiago's avatar

Thank you Canada…we appreciate your support..God bless you all.

Kris Sand's avatar

I like the idea of states not charging federal tax no more money to orange rapist!

Kris Sand's avatar

Never underestimate the power of the average American , Canadian , Mexican people when provoked by the top 1% oligarchs. We will rise up and you will be destroyed! Power to the people!

Patricia Reed's avatar

I hope you aren't condemning a whole country based on only part of its population. Please consider the possibility that people are brainstorming and protests are happening. Resistance, to be effective, takes time to plan. Trust me, it is happening down here. Instead of writing all of us off as worthless, maybe give us the benefit of the doubt and have faith that we are busy even though all you see is what those in power want you to see.

I understand, Lisa, and we’d love to have you. But… we’d rather stand with you in the fight for getting your own democracy back. It’s the least we can do as a good neighbour.

Patricia Reed's avatar

Lisa, we spent two long stints living in MN - for a total of 25 years in the Excelsior-Chanhassen area. Love that state and the people. In 2021 my husband and I moved back to our naive state of Maine. Our states are so alike in many ways. In two hours we can be in Canada, too. We left family back there so we visit often. I'd happily vote for Sh--weasel to sell both Maine and MN to Canada. How's your French? Mine is pretty rusty.

Are you Canadian? Nope, definitely not. Every country has problems and most of them are due to global changes in work and wealth (job loss due to AI or due to corporations siphoning off profits for the 1% and not investing in their companies and employees, climate change, population movement because of poverty, conflict, and climate change, pandemic, overpopulation, etc etc) These are huge problems which will never be resolved by blaming other countries for imagined 'unfairness' or invading and stealing resources and land from neighbours. Trudeau was not perfect as a leader over the last decade- but at least he tried to make decisions and policies to provide for Canadians: some were ok ideas, some were not helpful at all. Canada is not celebrating Nazis and dismantling our government out of spite and retribution. Those are American made problems that are infecting the rest of the world.

Neither Muslims nor Mexicans nor any other group of people are invading the US. That lie is being spread to divide us into US vs Them. Sadly, it's working

Patrice Mobley's avatar

Guess who stormed our State Capitol, DOMESTIC TERRORIST who injured our officers. I'd rather live next door to a Mexican or a Muslim anyday and not an ignorant MAGAT.

Martin Börner's avatar

"invaded by Muslims."

Not Muslims, but Christians invaded the American continent and nearly killed the whole population, and destroyed many cultures. Do you have no shame? Muslims, btw. pray to the same god as Christians do.

Joyce Moore's avatar

This is an overgeneralization. Many early pilgrims paid the native people for their land in order to farm it; they did not intend to kill native people by transmitting disease to which they had more immunity.

MJean's avatar

Your response says it all. Hateful. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Heather Hay Charron 🇨🇦's avatar

@kellysexton I’m sorry you’re feeling the hate towards an entire ethnic population. It’s just as well that you stay where you are. Canada has a strong multicultural society, and we’re proud of our own many different origins. Our fathers/mothers fought beside yours in every conflict in the 20th century. We are good neighbours. We did repel US military advances a very long time ago and have no desire to do so again. We will, if we have to, though, if your current administration poses that threat again. We will not give up our true north strong and free; we will not annex ourselves to the US; and we will continue to be a safe haven for those of you who need our help.

Patrice Mobley's avatar

But the MAGATS stink really bad in America, they are the new Nazis.

LJ's avatar

That's the beauty of freedom. You wouldn't want to live here, and for now now one is forcing you to. There are about 10% of Canadians that prefer the States. We would like them to move to the States if they like it so much, so each country could be filled with citizens that want to be there. Everyone happy and no one discontented. Really there is nothing worse than people who just sit and bitch about their situation but do mothing to improve it. (and that last comment was aimed at the Canadians who moan and bitch about Canada. They are all free to leave)

Thank you for staying strong. I'm assuming members of Congress are getting these threats as well which is why all the Republicans are caving. I wish they could be as strong as you guys.

Dik de Bruijn's avatar

All the Republicans are caving because they don't want to lose their cushy jobs. The threat of being "primaried" is all it takes. Has nothing to do with "strength" but rather with a failure to fulfill their promise to support the Constitution. The Repubs are all very "strong" in their dedication to their own future prospects.

So...what happens when you alert the FBI?

Lucy Acanfora's avatar

One of Trumps acolytes, Kash Patel, is now in charge of the FBI. He has an enemies list. Anyone who has ever crossed or Trump has perceived has crossed him is on that list. Sad day in America.

Marylou (Emmie)'s avatar

Additionally, MAGA-maniac conspiracy theorist Dan Bongino was named Deputy Director. Basically, the FBI has ceased to exist 🤬

Daniel Solomon's avatar

So...even more reason to investigate. If they won't, another cause of action, and another potential money pot.

Catherine Voight's avatar

There is no “money pot”! These are precious lives we are talking about. Ben is right..the FBI is off the table. Perhaps down the road this country will come to its senses.

Maria A. Sarno's avatar

I'd say the FBI under a Trumpist lunatic would not take any action, or worse, it would alert Trump's milicia. Umbilievable how his naive immigrant-blaming voters managed to give him and the Project 2025 creators full power to attenpt stablishing a dictatorship. These Americans obviously don't khow how most Latin American and African countries got to the situation they're in now. Dictatorships suffocate healthy development by repressing people's free participation. "Liberty for all" was already fragil, and it's on the way to totally cease existing. Resist, work, resist. It does feel tough as if a cruel, greedy and desperate giant monster is agonizing, acting up aggressively as it takes its last breaths. RIP, or not, but go away already!

Daniel Solomon's avatar

We survived WORSE. I.E. J.Edgar (Mary) Hoover.

I know this is a minority view, but I want Trump to saddle himself with nothing but unqualified, incompentent duds.

The courts entertain "extrodiary writs" like mandamus that could make them have to eat themselves. Have to have a good fact pattern -- real evidence -- and not speculation.

The experts on this subject are veterans of DOJ public intergrity section - many now involutarily "retired" and available to take these casees.

FBI won't help. Those guys are all trumpies and very loyal to him. They need their own security.

Punkette's avatar

The FBI employs approximately 38,000 people, including special agents (approx. 13,700) and support professionals such as intelligence analysts, language specialists, scientists, and information technology specialists. I know the FBI is very conservative but I refuse to believe they are all Dump loyalists. Praying for a resistance within the ranks.
