Canadian petition to expel US ambassador tops 170,000 signatures

A petition to expel US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra from Canada has surpassed 171,000 signatures, far exceeding the 500 needed for parliamentary discussion. It accuses him of undermining Canada-US relations and demands his removal, citing his support for Trump's '51st state' remarks and alleged separatist ties. The non-binding petition reflects growing Canadian discontent with Trump's policies.
