  • That was my first reaction too. Did you read the text of the petition? What he’s doing isn’t just politics, he’s actively working to erase Canada. There must be some level of anti-Canada behaviour (really bad phrasing, but I can’t think of anything better and you know what I mean) that warrants revocation of citizenship?

    • Elon Musk has engaged in activities that go against the national interest of Canada;
    • He has used his wealth and power to influence our elections;
    • He has now become a member of a foreign government that is attempting to erase Canadian sovereignty; and
    • The attempts of Elon Musk to attack Canadian sovereignty must be addressed.







  • This is me too. I’m still on Facebook for some family contacts and a couple of useful groups. Years ago I could spend hours a day there. Now I spend maybe 15-30 minutes each morning scrolling for friend/family updates and group content - and hitting “Hide all from …” on every single bit of unsolicited content. I was reporting and blocking them, but I’ve decided it probably doesn’t achieve anything and it was too many taps/clicks.

    Instagram is similar - I used to spend hours there too but now I only go to check if there’s progress on one car build I’m following and scroll for maybe 5-10 minutes and I’m out for the day.





  • I can’t understand how someone hasn’t explained to them that it’s impossible to enforce. I can only see two possible ways:

    1. Require every social media platform operating in Australia to do rigorous ID checks on all users to ensure no-one is under the legal age, or

    2. Somehow lock down the whole Australian internet so that users must login and then validate the identity, and therefore age, of all users. Then maintain a huge filter table to restrict under age users from social media.

    Both of these are clearly never going to happen. Have I missed a simpler way to do it?
