Though I do think that something like a petition having the power to actually revoke a person’s citizenship is draconian, and should never actually happen in Canada, I do support the sentiment.
You can rest easy, there's no mechanism for a petition to do anything except draw attention from those who can.
Obviously the petition is to compel Parliament, or whoever is responsible, to take action to do so. I see this sentiment but I think it's misplaced. The petition is to bring it to the attention of politicians who typically have a blind spot on these things and may not understand or be aware of public sentiment.
There's no mechanism for a petition to do anything directly. But we all know that. I'm personally immediately suspicious of any attempts to create confusion on this issue. It seems to be disinformation.
This isn't stupidity, it's intentional and calculating.
This bare-faced, obvious hypocrisy IS the point. It's right in our faces, and it forces his supporters to defend it. But it's the thin edge of the wedge...you defend this, and it shifts your tolerance window a bit, and the next one is a bit more egregious, and you defend that, then a bit more, and so on until you are defending felons and rapists who dismantle the government against your interests, because it supports your guy and hurts people you hate.
At the same time Poilievre's opponents become even more indignant and angry, and it further divides into two sides - the team, and the other. This is all intended to firm up the cult and further divide out the other.
FUCKIN A RIGHT BUD. We all needed this. One hell of a game, too.
Yes, by MAGA's own vernacular it does.
You can't spell hatred without red hat.
(I can't take credit for this, I saw this comment on this same story elsewhere, and I thought it was so obvious that I can't believe it isn't more widespread)
I get your sentiment, but I rather think the comedy above arises from the rhetorical flourishes.
It's ok, I don't actually believe this.
Twist ending: Trump comes out as the ultimate leftist neoglobalist. His entire life has been dedicated to cultivating the most unabashed narcissistic piss baby entitled con man personality, as a front, just so he can convince America to share its wealth and power, collapse American hegemony, and permanently destroy conservatism. He's the only one that has the special Yank whisperer powers to convince an entire nation of dumbfucks to act against their own self interest.
At this point nothing would surprise me.
We had tshirts made for Canada Day, with the Canadian flag, and the words "Proud Canadian...not a douchebag".
Remarkably everyone we met, and I mean everyone, knew which douchebags we were referring to.
Ok but we're talking about Nazis, and the principle stands.
Has anyone told him that tariffs require willing trade partners?
I have to look him up on Wikipedia, so he doesn't really matter to me. He's not a Nazi though, so maybe?
Sorry it's just the way it is with Nazis. The only good one is a dead one. Just accept it.
A key problem humanity seems to have, which is exploited by politicians everywhere, is the affinity for black and white thinking.
Capitalism and even neoliberalism are not necessarily categorically terrible. Unregulated versions of these certainly are terrible and unsustainable. And some versions and implementations of ideologies or frameworks are net worse than others.
Absolute austerity, unregulated neoliberalism, unregulated capitalism, unopposed communism, etc, are all terrible, damaging and unsustainable. Unfortunately finding sustainable solutions is difficult and requires thought, time and dedication. And it requires vision and unifying leadership to sell it to the people.
