Premier Doug Ford of Ontario's Progressive Conservative Party announced on X that, in response to President Trump's escalating trade war—including a 25% tariff on Canadian goods—the provincial government would be "ripping up" its contract with Elon Musk's Starlink, which was set to provide high-speed internet to rural communities.

Ford's statement on X:

Starting today and until U.S. tariffs are removed, Ontario is banning American companies from provincial contracts. Every year, the Ontario government and its agencies spend $30 billion on procurement, alongside our $200 billion plan to build Ontario. U.S.-based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in new revenues. They only have President Trump to blame. We're going one step further. We'll be ripping up the province's contract with Starlink. Ontario won't do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy. Canada didn't start this fight with the U.S., but you better believe we're ready to win it.

So he posted on X, that Starlink was out? He does know the same guy owns BOTH, right?

Elon: $0.1B/$100B = yawn.

And on that $30B threat... IF you find foreign alternatives... nice 5-Eyes you have there. It would be a shame if someone took it away. Can't have a "friend" inadvertently sharing our secrets over insecure foreign communications, now can we?

Canada will suffer all of this because Trudeau and his marxists refuse to simply stop drug and human trafficking at the border. Says a lot. Eject this leadership asap.

The propaganda spin is to "blame (((Trump)))" right now, and hope that people forget about how bad the liberal government is.

I would think Canadians see through their liberal govt by now. They wish they could have a Trump too. They can, become our 51st state! Lol!

The worst part is that this clown Doug Ford is supposedly part of the Liberals opposition. The Conservatives are supposed to be the law and order party.

RINO facsimiles. Canada needs a Trump.

Fortunately Trudeau came to agreement with Trump. Of course the $100M contract remains and Ford gets his virtue signaling brownie points with the left because Orange Man and Rocket Man bad.

It gets worse. There’s a Canadian company working on satellite internet service. They’re relying on SpaceX to get their satellites in orbit.
