According to data published on the Canadian House of Representatives website, as of the 17th local time, more than 210,000 Canadians had signed a petition under their real name to expel US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hookstra. The petition accuses Hookstra of repeatedly making statements that damage Canada-US relations and interfering in Canada's internal affairs, including “normalizing” remarks by US President Trump threatening to annex Canada as the “51st state” of the United States. The petition called on the Canadian government to officially declare Hookstra an “unwelcome person” and appoint a congressional committee to investigate US diplomatic interference in Canada's internal affairs. The petition also called for negotiations with the US over Hookstra's pattern of conduct that did not comply with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The petition was initiated by people from Calgary, Canada. Since the petition was opened for signature on July 21, the number of co-signers has surpassed 200,000 in less than a month, making it one of the petitions with the highest attention and number of signatures since the National Assembly established the electronic petition system in 2015. The joint signing period is scheduled to end on November 18.
