ANGUS: PETITION e-7531: "Make Pete Hoekstra Persona Non Grata"

Charlie Angus / The Resistance - August 12, 2026

Petition to the House of Commons - Sign & Share Widely . . . .

Whereas:

U.S Ambassador Pete Hoekstra has repeatedly made public statements undermining the Canada-U.S. diplomatic relations, including characterizing the 2025 Canadian federal election as “anti-American”;

Ambassador Hoekstra has normalized the Trump administration’s threats to annex Canada as the “51st state,” describing such rhetoric as a “term of endearment”;

Ambassador Hoekstra has accused Canada of interfering in U.S. domestic politics while himself making repeated interventions in Canadian political discourse inconsistent with diplomatic protocol;

Ambassador Hoekstra has been linked to a Michigan-based voter identification app used by the Alberta separatist Centurion Project, while claiming no knowledge of its use; and

The Alberta Prosperity Project met with U.S. State Department officials three times between April 2025 and January 2026, with Hoekstra claiming no knowledge of those meetings, raising serious questions about U.S. diplomatic interference in Canadian unity.

We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:

1. Formally declare Pete Hoekstra persona non grata and request his removal as U.S. Ambassador to Canada;

2. Raise with the United States the pattern of conduct by Ambassador Hoekstra inconsistent with the Vienna convention on Diplomatic Relations; and

3. Direct a parliamentary committee to review U.S. diplomatic interference in Canadian domestic affairs.

Fellow resistors, if you are a Canadian citizen, please sign the petition.

Hundreds of thousands of signatures would send a clear message of what we think about these efforts to undermine our country.

It may seem like a small act, but if enough people come together, it will show how determined we are.
