how likely is this to work and how many people need to sign?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 years ago (3 children)

0%. Governments don't do things because people signed a petition. In this case, I'm not even sure it's legally possible. Musk has a Canadian mother. He's Canadian by birthright.

Doesn't Canada have a specific amount of signatures that makes it so it's at least to be discussed within Parliament?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

It's the opposite, all them get a response. Even the stupid ones with a dozen signatures. It's usually along the lines of "Fellow Canadians, we've all read your petition and had a good laugh about it. Cheers."

If the UK can have a refurendum for brexit why can't Canada have one to kick out Elon?

It sucks that you're right.
