Summary

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province will permanently cancel its $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink, even if U.S. tariffs are lifted.

The decision follows Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, which prompted Ontario to ban U.S. firms from contracts.

Ford cited Musk’s ties to Trump as a factor and said he is willing to fight potential legal fallout.

Musk previously responded to cancellation threats with a dismissive “Oh well.”

    Fords an absolute asshole, and this is a stopped clock situation. But let’s take the win. This is a policy change in the right direction.

    From a southern neighbor: sorry about the smell and the noise. We are busy shitting the bed, and we’re just getting started.
