Canada seeks Elon Musk citizenship
From Trump’s return to the White House, Musk became one of his closest collaborators. Since January 20, SpaceX owner is in charge of the Government Efficiency Department (Doge for its acronym in English) and is one of the figures most visible from the management of the Republican.
The petition was presented to the CANADÁ HOUSE By writer Qualia reed and sponsored by parliamentarian Angus who explained that Musk “He used his richness and power to influence Canadian elections“And now” he is a member of a foreign government who is trying Delete Canadian sovereignty“

It should be noted that Musk has citizens since 1989 thanks to his mother, Maye Musk, originally from Saskatchewan. However, relations between the North American country and the South African magnate deteriorated in recent years.
Beyond Trump’s sayings of Annexar Canada, Musk was also wrapped in a controversy with Justin Trudeau. On repeated occasions, the owner of X made fun of the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, after his announcement as resignation as leader of the Liberal Party, praising instead of the conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. From Canada, these comments were seen as an interference in internal policy.
The Trump position – and consequently of Musk who is part of the Republican Government – towards Canada also generated concern in the economic field. In recent months, Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, a measure that can have significant consequences for the country’s economy.
According to the Canadian Law, citizens can revorate in cases of fraud, false information in the application for immigration or threat to national security, although there are currently no precedents of a revocation for political reasons or ideological alignments. After its presentation, it will be the government who decides if it progresses or rejects it.
Donald Trump described Justin Trudeau as “governor” and ratified his plan to annex
The idea of annexing Canada as a new state began on January 6, when Trudeau presented his resignation as prime minister. “What a great nation we would be together”, Said Trump, giving indications for the first time of his geopolitical interest.
Then, in the previous Super Bowl, the Republican leader, who travels his second term, gave an interview where he reaffirmed His position that the country of Trudeau is another state of the United States. “Yes that’s how it is”, He said when asked if the idea was real.
“I think Canada would be much better being the 51st state, because we lose US $ 200,000 million a year with Canada. And I will not allow that to happen“Trump said, and emphasized:” Why are we paying that figure a year, in essence a subsidy to Canada? “
Previously the US president had already stated: “Canada should become our beloved state number 51 and without tariffs! ″, Arguing that thus Canadians would have less taxes and better military protection.
“If Canada merges with the United States, there would be no tariffs, taxes would go down, and they would have total security against the threats of Russian and Chinese ships that constantly surround them,” wrote the then elected president in his social network Truth Social.
Trump’s expansionist agenda also includes plans For the inauguration of Greenland and the Panama Canalas well as the change of name – already effective within the United States – from the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America”
