A petition to the Prime Minister demanding that Elon Musk be stripped of his Canadian citizenship is a complete joke. I don't even know where to begin when it comes to the ridiculousness that is this ridiculous petition, but I'll give it a whirl anyway.

00:00:00.000 As if the man was on a mission to prove that the federal NDP is an absolutely worthless party,
00:00:07.560 NDP MP for Timmins James Bay, Charlie Angus, has sponsored a parliamentary petition calling on the
00:00:15.160 Prime Minister to strip Elon Musk of his Canadian dual citizenship. This is why nobody takes these
00:00:22.700 guys seriously. Charlie Angus would never even call on ISIS terrorists to lose their Canadian
00:00:28.760 citizenships, but because Elon Musk is associated with the evil orange man, he must have his Canadian 0.98
00:00:35.620 citizenship pulled from him. I'm going to read through this petition a little bit. It's absolutely
00:00:40.760 ridiculous, and what's kind of depressing is a lot of Canadians have actually signed on to this thing.
00:00:47.140 There's just a sort of type of Canadian who you don't have to like Donald Trump, but they hate 1.00
00:00:53.120 Donald Trump as like a personality trait. Guys, you can dislike Donald Trump. There are points for him
00:01:00.440 and against him in my book. At the same time, look at your own elected officials who have actually been
00:01:06.940 making your lives worse year after year, and first ask them to do their jobs before going down south
00:01:14.420 to criticize whatever Donald Trump is doing in America. It's wild how there's a certain type of
00:01:20.540 Canadian who knows way more about what's going on in U.S. politics than Canadian politics, yet still shows up
00:01:26.500 every Canadian election to vote for the Liberals or for the NDP to prove that they're good progressives,
00:01:33.500 I guess. I guess that's what's going on here. But anyways, let's get into this petition. Guys, remember,
00:01:38.500 like the video, subscribe to the channel, do all that great stuff, but here is what the petition says.
00:01:43.200 Petition to the Prime Minister. Whereas, Elon Musk has engaged in activities that go against the
00:01:50.360 national interests of Canadians. He has used his wealth and power to influence our elections,
00:01:55.800 although Charlie Angus will never criticize Xi Jinping and the CCP for trying to influence our
00:02:01.160 elections, which is proven. Going on, though, he says, he has now become a member of a foreign 0.65
00:02:07.000 government that is attempting to erase Canadian sovereignty and the attempts of Elon Musk to attack
00:02:12.160 Canadian sovereignty must be addressed. We, the undersigned Canadian citizens, call upon the
00:02:17.480 Prime Minister to revoke Elon Musk's dual citizenship status and revoke his Canadian passport effective
00:02:24.320 immediately. And this petition has only been around since February 20th at 4.36 p.m., and it closes on
00:02:32.900 June 20th, 2025, and it already has, at least at the time that I was checking this, 116,351 signatures.
00:02:42.600 Man, that's sad that so many people signed on to this garbage. There's a picture of Charlie Angus
00:02:48.800 right there. Thankfully, the man is finally retiring from federal politics. He has been the MP,
00:02:55.880 the NDP MP for Timmons James Bay since 2004. Has this man sponsored any major piece of legislation
00:03:04.820 that actually passed? He wants to stop oil and gas companies from being able to advertise because
00:03:10.000 apparently that's like environmental terrorism for them to, you know, extol the virtues of their
00:03:15.720 industry. Again, this man will never criticize a terrorist organization. In fact, he loves terrorist
00:03:21.360 organizations, but he wants to go after Elon Musk, oil and gas companies, and, you know, whatever else,
00:03:27.900 because they don't fit into his socialist commie collective. Charlie Angus was literally part of a
00:03:38.020 punk band, a punk rock band in the 70s and 80s. How very punk rock of him to be demanding that Elon
00:03:45.940 Musk loses citizenship for disagreeing with him? Yes, very punk rock. What's your band called? Rage
00:03:52.860 more or less in perfect tandem with the machine? What is going on with this guy? But again, the guy
00:03:58.940 has been sitting around in Timmons James Bay or in Parliament for 21 years, collecting a large taxpayer
00:04:06.320 salary, hasn't created a real job in his entire life, doesn't do anything. He is just some lefty
00:04:13.840 granola social activist who actually actively stumps against the livelihoods of other people,
00:04:19.740 and he is here to act morally superior to Elon Musk. And by the way, let's go back to the text of this
00:04:26.680 petition. This is utterly the ridiculous, the first line. This is enough in his book to revoke
00:04:33.060 his own citizenship. Elon Musk has engaged in activities that go against the national interest
00:04:37.260 of Canada. Hey, I'd argue that every single day, Charlie Angus is stumping against the best
00:04:45.280 national interests of Canadians. I think he should still be a citizen, but by Charlie Angus's own
00:04:52.240 standards, he should lose his Canadian citizenship as soon as the Conservatives get in because he will
00:04:57.540 be stumping against our national interest. What an absolute clown. And the second one,
00:05:03.500 he has used his wealth and power to influence our elections. Again, foreign interference everywhere.
00:05:09.660 The NDP and the Liberals don't demand that the CCP get cut out of our elections. They barely do
00:05:15.700 anything to crack down on election interference. They only call it election interference if they can
00:05:20.660 actually use it for their own political gain, which means they've rarely called out because it's
00:05:24.320 usually in their favor. These guys are complete clowns. What was the third one here again?
00:05:30.220 He has now become a member of a foreign government that is attempting to erase Canadian sovereignty
00:05:35.100 because he makes 51st state memes. Who cares? Who cares? I don't like the 51st state talk because I
00:05:42.740 think it's disrespectful to Canada. But if something being disrespectful to Canada and our sovereignty,
00:05:49.160 we would have to kick a lot of people out of this country. My goodness. Let's go to the fourth one
00:05:55.460 here again. The attempts of Elon Musk to attack Canadian sovereignty must be addressed. Attack it?
00:06:01.980 What do you mean by attack? And I've seen other sponsored petitions that he's put out. Someone found
00:06:07.000 another one where he wants to ban X in Canada. Again, how punk rock of him to try and censor
00:06:13.680 communications. This guy must have gone into parliament because he got kicked off a commune
00:06:20.320 for not working. This guy hasn't done, again, a single thing for any Canadian to make their lives
00:06:26.000 better since 2020 or since 2004. He jumps on board social movements. He prides himself as being a big
00:06:35.000 activist for indigenous issues. But has he ever advocated for more natural resource development
00:06:41.060 on indigenous land so those people can get real jobs that are productive? No, he hates oil and gas.
00:06:47.100 Does he want them to get jobs in the lumber industry? No, that's bad for the environment.
00:06:51.280 Has he done, well, he advocates for Hamas. He likes Hamas. I guess that's okay. 0.99
00:06:58.920 Again, where was he when there was a bunch of ISIS terrorists being brought back to Camden and given
00:07:03.200 back their Canadian citizenships despite the fact they burnt their passports? He doesn't care.
00:07:07.520 He likes that sort of thing. But Charlie Angus hates Elon Musk, the man who creates electric vehicles
00:07:13.060 and he should be in favor of because he has different politics than him.
00:07:18.220 Jagmeet Singh and the NDP are sadly probably going to get more than 15% of the vote in the next federal
00:07:23.700 election. I don't believe the polls that show them only at 9% because there is a sort of type of
00:07:29.240 Canadian who is doggedly in favor of sanctimonious leftism. People who probably own their own home 0.99
00:07:36.960 because they bought it 20 or 30 years ago and housing was cheaper. And now they just engage in
00:07:41.780 inane luxury politics. Luxury politics are the sort of politics that you, you know, you can vote for
00:07:49.580 progressive policies or things that are very high-minded sounding. Oh, we need to have
00:07:55.400 like a living wage. We need to have housing become a human right at the same time that all these people 0.55
00:08:02.700 aren't going to lift a finger to supply it. They don't donate that much to charity, but they're
00:08:07.120 going to say that other people who are currently working and are going to have to pay the higher
00:08:10.840 taxes for this garbage, they can do it all even though they are all retired now and they just vote
00:08:15.940 for the stupid politics of Charlie Angus to make themselves feel better. Anyways, that's probably it for
00:08:22.180 today. Yeah, this is a clownish petition. I just want to let you guys know tomorrow evening we have
00:08:28.560 a video premiering. It's not of me, but it's of a TNT friend, Benjamin Dichter, who's interviewing
00:08:34.660 Jim Carahalios, the new Blue Party of Ontario leader. You might want to check that out, but it's just a
00:08:39.380 forewarning. If you see that video and it's not me, you know, don't be shocked. Basically, the National
00:08:45.300 Telegraph is like Garfield and friends. I am Garfield in this analogy and the friends are people like
00:08:51.380 Daniel Boardman and Benjamin Dichter, so you'll always see them pop up here and there. But make
00:08:56.480 sure to support the channel, like this video, subscribe to the channel, leave a comment. What
00:09:00.920 do you think about the petition? Do you think that Canadians should be stripped of their citizenships
00:09:05.680 because they disagree with certain political dogmas in Canada? I don't. Maybe you do, but I don't
00:09:12.960 expect many of you to believe that. But other than that, I'll let you guys go. Check out my next video
00:09:18.920 whenever that thing happens to come out. See you guys later.
