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.
and he is OUR asshole, for now (no telling if/when he will flip-flop, let’s hope he sticks to it)
Thanks bud. it’s not our first rodeo, we’re used to the smell of bullshit.
Still, you know, when it actually gets on you it stains things.
Yeah it’s splashing into our yard and now we all stink.
