Thousands Sign Petition to Oust U.S. Ambassador to Canada

A surge of public anger has pushed a petition demanding the removal of United States Ambassador Pete Hoekstra from Canada past a hundred thousand signatures. The campaign accuses the diplomat of interfering in domestic politics and harming the friendly ties between the two nations. Canadian activists say the response from Washington has been more severe than anticipated.

The controversy centers on recent diplomatic moves that many Canadians view as disrespectful. While the White House has not commented, the growing online movement reflects deep frustration.
