Toronto, Canada (EFE).- Tens of thousands of Canadians signed a parliamentary petition requesting the expulsion of the United States Ambassador Pete Hoekstra.
The petition cites several reasons, including his «normalization» of threats by US President Donald Trump regarding the potential annexation of the country.
As of Wednesday, the petition has garnered the support of over 70,000 people. The signature collection period is set to close on Nov. 18.
Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada, is expected to formally present the petition to the House of Commons for government consideration.
The text of the petition claimed that Hoekstra has made numerous statements «undermining» diplomatic relations between the two nations, including labeling Canada’s 2025 general elections as «anti-American,» and alleges that he has interfered in domestic Canadian politics.
