Go CANADA!! I'd sign if I was able.

Petition to the Prime Minister Whereas:

Elon Musk has engaged in activities that go against the national interest of Canada;
He has used his wealth and power to influence our elections;
He has now become a member of a foreign government that is attempting to erase Canadian sovereignty; and
The attempts of Elon Musk to attack Canadian sovereignty must be addressed.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Prime Minister to revoke Elon Musk's dual citizenship status, and revoke his Canadian passport effective immediately.

and

Petition to the Government of Canada Whereas:

The Canadian government and its agencies have historically used social media to provide timely updates during crises and major events;
Twitter, now known as X, has become a platform widely criticised for amplifying misinformation, conspiracy theories, and harmful rhetoric; and
The government's continued use of X legitimises and directs traffic to a platform that no longer prioritises fact-based, accessible public communication.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to transition official government communications away from Twitter/X to more secure, community-regulated platforms that prioritise public safety, accurate information, and accessibility. We encourage the government to explore publicly accountable alternatives, including decentralised networks, to ensure reliable and responsible communication with Canadians.
