A lovely petition in Canada’s House of Commons to ban X.
MP Charlie Angus slipped this one in. The petition to revoke Elon’a citizenship has 360k signatures. There’s no reason this shouldn’t have as many.

Whereas:
The social media platform X does not perform adequate moderation of hateful expression such as Nazi ideology and fails to prevent the spread of disinformation and misinformation;
Canada and its government need to prevent foreign interference given recent reported incidents from China, Russia, and India;
As X's owner, Elon Musk spent more than $200 million USD as a private citizen helping Donald Trump's presidential campaign, potentially circumventing our political donation rules; and
As X's owner, Elon Musk attended and supports Germany's far right party AfD, demonstrating significant risk of his influence on increasing antisemitism and extremist ideologies impacting the social media platform X and how information is shared through it.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
Ban the social media platform X on all government agencies' communication channels;
Ban political candidates at all levels of governments to campaign, promote, disseminate, and share contents or messages under public or official capacity; and
Publicly encourage private Canadian entities and users to use alternatives to communicate and interact with their audiences.
