Elizabeth May, a long-time Green Party leader and MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands, is at the center of Canada’s budget stalemate and calls to expel the US ambassador in the current Parliament debate.
A growing petition calls for the expulsion of Pete Hoekstra, the US ambassador to Canada, as Canada and the US negotiate amid tariffs and rising tensions. The petition argues Hoekstra has interfered in Canadian politics and normalised threats to annex Canada as the ‘51st state.’ Debate in Parliament is expected later this fall.
