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.”
Even conservatives have principles, at least they used to, getting less and less popular with that crowd though. Centrist liberals however refuse to have principles because “that’s taking sides.”
Doug Ford does not have principles. He’s in the right on this one, this time, but was actively trying to convince his base he was a Canadian Trump until the tariffs looked to annihilate his province financially.
As someone else said, “broken clock moment”
He also looks like a cop and I don’t trust like that.
Funny, because him and his brother were in the illegal drug business.
Hey there I look like a cop and there’s not much I can do about it as a bald white guy. I hate it actually. I walked into a head shop recently and was greeted “Hello Officer”.
