It's very close to what I imagined when he first started talking about the Riviera of the middle east - but I have to admit, I didn't have the statue and I had more golf. I obviously didn't have the bearded belly dancers either - I guess I expected them to review it before release.

It might be the correct deal, but it worries me. I can only imagine the people saying he wants to be a dictator are those that want a Putin style election to install another puppet. I know they have to have elections at some point - it's just a worry!

Oh, wow. I expected someone to correct me and say it will be much sooner due to the size of the two galaxies but didn't think I was that far off.

Yep - me too. I had to go to our "mainframe room" where we had our only Sun workstation - the only thing that would run the first versions.

So, if my old brain did the math right, it'll get here in about 2.5 billion years?

Oh shit. I'm not a citizen yet, only a PR. Was planning to apply as soon has I reach 3 years. I'll struggle with that. I'm Australian, so I was born with an allegiance to the British monarch, but to actually say it - urgh.

Yep, it's just evil to their own staff. It seems every time I have to call some call centre these days, when I finally get to a human the conversation starts something like "I've just spent 40 fucking minutes trying to get to talk to a person and I'm really pissed off. I know that's not your fault and I apologise in advance if I struggle to contain my frustrations while we talk. Now.."

When you say "applied in the other direction" - I read that as granting, rather than revoking, citizenship. Which doesn't really make sense? I assume you mean an evil government revoking citizenship of good people, rather than this proposal for a good government to revoke the citizenship of an evil person.

It sucks that you're right.

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.

Mother and brother for me. There must be so many families torn apart.
