A growing Pete Hoekstra petition is putting fresh pressure on the Canadian government, with nearly 30,000 people signing a parliamentary petition calling for the US ambassador to Canada to be removed from his post, reports Canadian media.
The petition asks Ottawa to declare Pete Hoekstra persona non grata and request his removal as US ambassador. It also calls for the Canadian government to raise concerns with Washington over what organizers describe as conduct inconsistent with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
