More than 150,000 Canadians have signed a parliamentary petition seeking to revoke Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship, The Guardian reports. The petition argues that Musk is a close ally of former U.S. President Donald Trump, who has previously threatened to undermine Canada’s sovereignty and integrate the country as the 51st U.S. state if re-elected. The petition was submitted to the House of Commons by British Columbia-based author Qualia Reed. Born in South Africa, Musk holds Canadian citizenship through his mother and currently heads a key division in the Trump administration.

A passenger plane overturned while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport, injuring 15 people, including three in critical condition. The BBC reported that the plane was carrying 80 passengers. Airport authorities have confirmed that all crew and passengers have been rescued. Heavy snowfall occurred before the accident, but the exact cause is still under investigation. Previously, another aircraft had crashed at the same airport. The incident follows a series of severe aviation accidents in the U.S.

In three separate incidents in recent weeks, one person was killed and 15 others were arrested while attempting to cross into Canada from the United States. The arrested individuals are from various nationalities, while the deceased was confirmed to be a U.S. citizen, according to Canada's Assistant Police Commissioner. Using thermal imaging and aerial footage, authorities demonstrated their advanced border security measures. The U.S. citizen was fatally shot while attempting to flee after being stopped near the Coutts Port of Entry. A day prior to the incident, five individuals were arrested, and six more were detained on January 14.

Canada has imposed 25% retaliatory tariffs on $155bn worth of US goods, mirroring President Trump’s tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports. Prime Minister Trudeau emphasized standing up for Canadians while warning of economic consequences. The tariffs target American beer, wine, household appliances, and more. Economists predict rising consumer prices as the trade war escalates. The White House defends tariffs as a crackdown on drug trafficking, but Trudeau refutes security concerns. Trump signals further tariff hikes if met with retaliation, deepening tensions between the neighboring nations.
