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.”

    It’s frustrating that $100 million is only about 0.028760% of Elon Musk’s total wealth ($347.7 billion). Let’s hope more people abandon his failing companies and that other governments and big clients follow Fords lead.

      You should be looking relative to Starlink’s total wealth rather than Musk, as something like Tesla is irrelevant regarding the contract.
