Sedition maybe?

Sedition

59 (1) Seditious words are words that express a seditious intention.
(2) A seditious libel is a libel that expresses a seditious intention.
(3) A seditious conspiracy is an agreement between two or more persons to carry out a seditious intention.
(4) Without limiting the generality of the meaning of the expression seditious intention, every one shall be presumed to have a seditious intention who
(a) teaches or advocates, or
(b) publishes or circulates any writing that advocates,
the use, without the authority of law, of force as a means of accomplishing a governmental change within Canada.

Emphasis mine.

"Force" is a broad term, and doesn't necessarily imply violence. Trump has indicated he would use economic force on Canada to get us to capitulate. Musk is working with Trump very closely, and said Trudeau wasn't "governor" anymore.

Wow, missed that one. I hope he keeps this up and we do it. Seditious conspiracy charges for Elon Musk, what a trip.

At this time, it would probably be easier to make that charge stick. I don't know if "force" has a concrete legal definition.
