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.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is off to India and China in the coming weeks, where she plans to take two distinct approaches to mending frayed ties with the world's two most populous countries. "I do not think it is wise to group countries in one region of the world together, and certainly not those two countries," Anand told The Canadian Press. "Our relationship with each of these countries is separate and we are approaching them very differently." Anand spoke Monday after the United Nations General Assembly's high-level week in New York, where she spent several days meeting with forei
