This is followed by nearly 53,000 signatures from British Columbia, 43,000 from Quebec, and more than 25,000 from Alberta.

The number of Canadians supporting a petition against Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship has surpassed 263,000. The province with the most signatures so far is Ontario, where more than 96,000 people have backed the demand to revoke Musk’s citizenship.

This is followed by nearly 53,000 signatures from British Columbia, 43,000 from Quebec, and more than 25,000 from Alberta. Musk’s Canadian citizenship has been in the spotlight recently after British Columbia author Qualia Reed launched the petition last week.

Musk currently holds citizenship in the United States, Canada, and South Africa, where he was born. He received his U.S. citizenship in 2002 and his Canadian citizenship through his mother, who is from Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan.

An online petition seeking to revoke Musk’s Canadian citizenship is on track to become one of the most notable petitions in the history of the House of Commons.

New trial ordered in Alberta homicide case after appeal court overturns murder conviction

Alberta’s Court of Appeal has ordered a new trial for a man previously convicted in the 2020 death of his common-law partner, finding legal errors in how intent was assessed at trial. In a decision released Friday, the court overturned Ryan Applegarth’s 2023 conviction for second-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Chantelle Firingstoney. According to the ruling, the trial judge did not make a required finding that Applegarth intended to kill, a key element for a murder conviction. Court records show Firingstoney died in November 2020 at her home in Ponoka, about 95 kilometres south

Liberals plan motion to secure majority on House committees, MacKinnon says

Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon says the Liberal government will move to change House of Commons procedures to ensure it holds a majority of votes on parliamentary committees. MacKinnon said Tuesday the planned motion would adjust committee composition rules so governing party MPs have the numbers needed to advance legislation and studies. He argued that committees should reflect the governing party’s mandate and avoid what he described as “partisan games” that delay work. The proposal comes as Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals seek to consolidate control of the parliament

Alberta NDP accuses UCP government of undermining democracy over riding boundary review

Alberta’s Opposition NDP is accusing Premier Danielle Smith’s United Conservative government of weakening democratic processes following a proposal to review and redraw electoral boundaries. The criticism comes after the government introduced a motion to create a new committee that would examine constituency boundaries and consider changes to representation in the legislature. According to statements made during debate in the legislature on Tuesday, the proposal could also lead to an increase in the number of seats to address representation concerns in rural areas.
