Canada has no rules on multiple citizenship, including as an elected representative. Carney did the right thing and renounced his other citizenships when becoming PM, but it has been contentious with other politicians such as former opposition leader Andrew Scheer (US) and Conrad Black (who founded the company which owns the newspaper this story was published in - he renounced Canadian citizenship to accept a British peerage.) I would welcome an Australian-style ban on multiple citizens holding office.
But revoking citizenship or silencing someone despite their efforts clearly being harmful to the nation is something that Canada has rejected even to our own detriment.
And that risk is heavily overblown. Cop isn't even in the top 10 most dangerous jobs: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/the-hot-button/and-the-...
I agree with that policy. Should I ever run for office, I would actively renounce my other citizenship(s). It wouldn't apply to Musk though, because his escapades are not as an elected official.
However I am of the belief that if someone doesn't live in a country and has no intention to, they should recuse themselves from that country's politics. I have citizenship of a country I don't live in and have never voted there, although I am eligible to.
As you said: it's what you're used to. I know 100F is a very warm day, but if someone said it was 50F I wouldn't intrinsically know how warm or cold that is. My brain works in Celsius, so someone saying its 20C I understand instantly.
Similarly length in US football fields - I don't know what that is, but it's second nature to someone who did grow up using them as a measurement.
My LLM experiments have become more ambitious as the tech has improved. Porting a decompiled SNES game to the Dreamcast is the latest (80% complete) victory.
* a native Xbox app (I believe Jellyfin may now have one)
* non-techie acceptance (Plex seemed more polished at the time, will need to reassess now)
Either way, I'll be warning my spouse that things may be changing soon.
