The petition is purely symbolic, and I don’t think his citizenship will ever be stripped (any time soon).
“We don’t have time to put people on trial” is not a take I’m prepared to get behind.
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.

And even if it were…how would revoking his citizenship change any of what you just described?

Whereas stripping him of his citizenship would accomplish nothing at all.
I don’t think people have really thought through what is symbolic of.
