Basically, "anything bad makes you a non-citizen"

In Canada, a permanent resident isn't a citizen - their residency can be legally revoked at any time. Is it the same in the US?

It is, that said it isn't supposed to be revoked willy nilly because it removes incentive to get it in the first place and the government wants legal immigrants not illegal ones. It's the same reason arrests at immigration court are ass backwards unless your intent is to scare people away from attending their hearings so they can then be arrested for missing hearings.
