Tens of Thousands Call for U. S. Ambassador Hoekstra to Be Expelled Tens of thousands of Canadians have signed a petition calling for the expulsion of U. S.
Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, citing his perceived overreach into Canadian politics and endorsement of divisive rhetoric. The petition, launched by a Calgary woman, will be presented in the House of Commons this fall.
Hoekstra's comments on annexation have been particularly galling for many Canadians, who see them as an affront to their country's sovereignty.
