🛰 Ontario Premier Doug Ford cancels $100-million Starlink contract in tariff responseOntario has
cancelled its $100-million contract with Elon Musk-owned satellite internet company
Starlink and will ban all United States (US)-based companies from taking part in provincial procurement as part of retaliatory measures in the North American trade war, Premier Doug Ford announced.
Ford is following through on his threats from last month, before a 30-day détente was struck between Canada and the US. Starlink, a subsidiary of Musk’s SpaceX, inked a contract with the province this past November to provide high-speed internet to 15,000 homes and businesses in rural, remote, northern communities by June 2025.
