    Taking away someone’s birthright citizenship is literally what Trump wants to be able to do.

      Musk was born in South Africa. Why is he a Canadian citizen in the US government?

      Musk applied for a Canadian passport through his Canadian-born mother to avoid South Africa’s mandatory military service

      Oh he wanted to dodge the draft.

      Yeah. I understand the sentiment, but considering the conservative attempts (and limited successes) of creating tiered citizenship in Canada already… This a is real Pandora’s box that we’d be opening, which could actually hurt actual Canadians, to send a message to someone who couldn’t care less.
