If this guy has the Canadian citizenship, would it be possible to enact a tax for Canadian billionaires intriguing against Canada? Just an idea.

Or just a 99% tax on all wealth over, say, 1bn, belonging to any Canadian citizen regardless of residence. The problem will thus solve itself.
100% tax on anything over 50 million in net worth
Nobody needs more than that, ever
Tbh, this is why I didn't entertain the idea of signing it. It's a bad precedent if nothing else.
Now, what are the treason laws in Canada?
I signed the petition fully expecting and knowing it would be denied.
The point, for me, wasn't to revoke his citizenship but to get more Canadians talking about Musk. He is a very real threat to our democracy and quality of life and we need to be talking about how we can counteract him.
There are real things we can be doing to damage the Nazi that do not include violating citizenship law.
Regardless of how you feel about Musk, acting like Trump doesn't solve problems and the ignorant Canadians responsible for the petition need to give their heads a shake.
People trying to “both sides same” when Musk is calling our sovereignty fake and aiding a country that has literally threatened us with war to annex us, needs to give their head a shake.
This isn't a "both sides" thing.
It is simply wrong to weaponize citizenship whether it is Trump or a bunch of ignorant Canadians doing it.
Regardless of how you feel about it, Musk is "half Canadian".
The thing we should be doing is in the article, not wasting time on debating citizenship rights. We can decide we don't allow dual citizenship anymore and make everyone choose to be Canadian or not. He also has facilities in Canada, and tax obligations, we can go after. All of which would be far more productive than violating the rights that legally defines one as Canadian in the first place.

The fact that a petition to not allow Trump into Canada is a foot note, with less signatures than a petition to remove citizenship at whim, is horrifying.
Give your head a shake.
There is nothing at all wrong with people wanting someone who wants to actually destroy Canada to no longer have citizenship. It seems very reasonable to me that wanting to destroy a country should cause you to lose citizenship for that country. It’s not a high bar.
Laws change. And how you ask? It starts exactly this way. Go do something constructive instead of trying to be the speech police bud.
There is a lot wrong with it, mainly the fact that we have laws for citizens who do such things. Which ignorant Canadians are unaware of. It only seems reasonable when one does not know what "Treason" is. Look it up before assuming your low bar is relevant.
Go do something constructive like learning Canadian Law before getting involved in conversations about it friend.
